hoop: August 2011

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

The main focus on the photo is to describe the faith and love in friendship combined with the should be worldly told story of this girl that has been gifted with extraordinary talent but has been given limited time.

We now have a legacy to form part of our wall of (HOOP) friends, memories. The initial thought was to have everyone dear to us leave a commemorative plaque to be looked back on and remember what we as friends has gone through. One in particular is that memories can save your life and having so much love in it you will never be alone again.

We found this story to be such an amazing influence and motivation to seize whatever comes your way and have faith (HOOP) in all good and true.
