Jewelry to Raise Awareness for Cancer

East Windsor, NJ – Work at Home Mom Elycia Norton (www.vaeldesigns.com) is excited about the goal she has set for herself and her business in 2007. Vael Designs, which began as a hobby and grew into a business in March of 2006, specializes in the design of unique and custom-made jewelry. Through the sale of her cancer awareness bracelets, she is donating a portion of the proceeds to the fight against cancer.

Elycia says, “It all started when a friend approached me to create a cancer awareness bracelet. Interested in the project, I took on the task and my friend loved it so much that I put it on my website. Because my mother is a breast cancer survivor, I decided to make a breast cancer awareness bracelet. Over the past year, I have had several friends affected by cancer and wanted a way to help make a difference as they struggle through this disease, so I decided to set a fundraising goal to raise awareness.”

The American Cancer Society’s website (www.cancer.org) provides information on how donations help cancer research: “The American Cancer Society funds the most innovative, groundbreaking research so future generations need never get cancer. We are the nation’s largest private, not-for-profit source of funds for scientists studying cancer. Our research program has resulted in saving literally millions of lives. We provided funding for breakthroughs such as tamoxifen, bone marrow transplants, and molecular therapies that have given new hope to the mothers, fathers, grandparents, and children touched by cancer. We continue to invest in the most promising programs until we achieve our ultimate goal—the elimination of cancer.”

“Running my business has been very enjoyable and rewarding, and as I continue to expand my cancer awareness line, I get to talk with people whom I would have never been able to before,” says Elycia. “They share their stories on how cancer has affected their lives, and so many of them are very moving and touching, and I am proud that I can make a little difference to help support cancer research.”

In the words of the ACS website, “Your gift is a big help in the battle against cancer—in your own community and across the country.” So help Elycia Norton reach her $1000 goal by visiting www.vaeldesigns.com to purchase your own cancer awareness bracelet today.

About Vael Designs:
Elycia’s fascination with jewelry began as a child. Growing up, her father often held her spellbound as he crafted earrings out of silver wire or a bangle bracelet. He also spent many hours showing her and her younger sibling the different types of rocks and gems, which lead them to become interested in jewelry. Her sister started making beaded jewelry designs and following her lead, it eventually evolved into a thriving business.
