Journey Beads: For Patients Fighting Cancer

Journey Beads is a special pediatric oncology project funded by CMN Hospitals, designed to support young patients and their families as they navigate the challenges of cancer treatment. This initiative provides children with colorful beads that represent various aspects of their treatment journey, from procedures to milestones, serving as symbols of their strength and bravery. The project not only helps children express their feelings and share their stories but also fosters a sense of connection among peers facing similar challenges. By engaging in this creative and meaningful activity, young patients can find comfort and encouragement during their treatment, making their journey a little brighter. CMN Hospitals is proud to support this important project, enhancing the emotional well-being of pediatric oncology patients and their families.

Journey beads are a way for patients and their families to keep track of their treatments, procedures and experiences they face during their cancer journey. They receive beads that symbolize different components of their treatment process to acknowledge the courage and bravery they show. They can use the strings of beads as a necklace, to keep for themselves, or to share their story with others.
