GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A nonprofit group is partnering with two cancer support programs in West Michigan to bring hope to people battling cancer, one special scarf at a time.
Hope Scarves is an international organization started in Louisville, Kentucky by Michigan native Lara MacGregor.
When MacGregor was battling cancer, a friend of a friend sent her a box of scarves. MacGregor said that gift made her feel beautiful and inspired as she fought cancer.
Hope Scarves collects scarves and stories from people who have faced cancer and passes them along to others fighting the disease.
“It’s not just a scarf, it’s also a story. Every Hope Scarf is a scarf but also a cancer survivor’s words of encouragement and strength,” explained MacGregor.
Hope Scarves has partnered with Mercy Health Lacks Cancer Center and Gilda’s Club to distribute the scarves and stories through their programs.
