Money Raised for Cancer Research by Jewelry Designer

April 16, 2009 - PRLog -- In the fall of 2007, Bev, Melanie and Lexie designed “Lexie’s Bracelet” made with Swarovski Pearls and Bali Silver to support Melanie’s Boston Marathon run for DFMC 2008 (Dana Farber Marathon Challenge). Lexie chose the significance of the Swarovski Pearl colors and with the help of Bev, Lexie’s Bracelets came to life. Not only does Melanie run the 26.2 miles but she raises at least $3,000 for Cancer Research at the Dana Farber. All three friends have walked the path of Cancer.
           Lexie’s Bracelets expanded to include a pendant necklace, earrings and a choker. For each piece of jewelry purchased, $10 will be given to the Dana Farber Marathon Challenge. ($5.00 for earrings)
          After the 2008 Boston Marathon, Lexie commented “Her favorite part was seeing her teacher, Melanie Horris, come towards me at mile 25, getting a big hug from her and running with her a little way.”  This year Lexie has been training and will run the last 1.2 miles and cross the finish line with her DFMC runner, Melanie.
         When Lexie was asked “If she could have one wish, what would that be?” She answered “To find a cure for brain tumors so my friends would stop getting sicker and dying!”
          Melanie will be running the next Boston Marathon on Monday, April 20, 2009 with Lexie for the last 1.2 miles.
