Question

Megan was a very important person to me．She was my role model．She was the strongest person I knew．Though she developed cancer in the seventh grade，she never complained about it；instead she often cheered up the other children in the hospital．

    When the cancer spread to Megan’s hip，shoulders，and lungs，she knew she would be in heaven soon．Megan spent her last days with her family at home，shopping on the Internet，reading Harry Potter books，eating Cookie Crisp，and watching movies．She died peacefully in her living room holding her brother’s hand on July 11，2007．

    I spend the rest of the summer alone and felt depressed and then it was time for the new school year．I decided that I didn’t want to sit around and cry any longer；I was ready to make a difference．I thought about Megan and it hit me that we’d start an organization to help kids in the hospital who were sick as she had been．I told my friends about my idea．We decided to weave friendship bracelets from string and deliver them to the hospital．

    Two months later，when we had made 100 friendship bracelets，I started making calls．The

hospital Megan was in said they would love to have us，and we arranged to come on Halloween．That day when we arrived at the hospital，we went room to room on the pediatric floor to deliver the candy and bracelets，and watch the children’s faces light up．At the end of the hour，we were empty-handed but felt wonderful．

   We asked to return On Thanksgiving，and the organization took off from there．We named our

organization Lovelets：Megan’s Bracelets Of Hope．We now use donated money to bay small gifts

like markers，pillows，animal toys，books，art projects，and other items for kids with cancer． I

know Megan is smiling from heaven and giving US a thumbs up．We love keeping Megan’s spirit alive and making sick children feel better．
