About this Blog

This site has been created in honour of a colleague and friend, and dedicated to those who have been affected by cancer. To all those currently fighting the battle, those mourning the loss of a friend or family member or celebrating the good news that they are in remission.

To these amazing souls who are going through this as well as their families and friends, know that there are many of us out there spreading the "hoop/hope" for you, for the mourning hearts to heal and that those who are suffering will have hope in their lives to continue the fight and be victorious in the end. This is for you, so please continue spreading the hoop/hope and watch it grow!

The idea behind the hoop project is to spread the Hoop, or Hope, and involve as many people as we possibly can. Our friend has a tattoo of hoop (hope in Afrikaans) on her arm and we wanted to do something special for her, so we created a stencil of her tattoo and have started spreading the hope amongst ourselves. In order for this initiative to catch fire we need these messages of hope and love to travel far and wide because she is not able to.

Download the stencil and help us send the message as far as we can. Email your photos and messages to us at thehoopproject@gmail.com

Door of Hoop

I found this old door in our complex and thought I would put my hoop on there.  It's beautiful to me because it's worn and weathered, and it has a story to tell.  
I feel that each of our lives are shaped by the scars we carry, they make us who we are.  There was a time in my own life where all I had to hold on to was hope.  Hope is the one thing we have left when we are weathered, and when everything else is uncertain. 

When the world says, "Give up,"
Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."
