This involved recruiting people on Turlington Plaza for a few moments of their time to design cards for pediatric leukemia patients. Markers, stickers, glitter, glue, crayons and scissors were provided. The cards will go to all of the Florida children s hospitals with cancer or pediatric leukemia units. Steve asked the Mayors Council to ask their residents to make cards. This would be for Valentines Day.
Children have to spend a minimum of four months in a sterile room.
Steve believes the cards have an instrument or placebo effect on the children s recovery. Valentine s Day or April Fool s Day are the possibility. If the cards are made funny for April Fools Day, the sense of humor must be appropriate. Steve encouraged Mayors council to screen the cards. Friends for Life could coordinate giving these to the hospital of our choice.
