Why Benalily Designs?
Benalily Designs was created to combine making beautiful, handcrafted jewelry with fundraising for a worthy cause. Every purchase of Benalily jewelry benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through a program called Team in Training. These two programs work together to raise money towards cures for blood cancers like leukemia - the #1 disease killer of children - lymphoma and myeloma. In addition to making of one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry, fundraiser Christina Huarte aims to raise over $2,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and run a marathon of 26.2 miles.
Each year, about 1 million people are told they have some form of cancer. Please help me in raising money to fight a disease that affects these people.

A final quote:
An old man walked up a shore littered with thousands of starfish, beached and dying after a storm. A young man was picking them up and flinging them back into the ocean. "Why do you bother?" the old man scoffed. "You're not saving enough to make a difference." The young man picked up another starfish and sent it spinning back to the water.
"Made a difference to that one," he said.
