The Beads of Courage program, which Camp Quality funds at Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick, uses unique beads to track each procedure of a child’s cancer experience, such as blood tests, central lines, radiation sessions and surgery. Sometimes many metres long, the bead strings become a badge of honour for children who miss out on the everyday milestones of other kids, and instead proudly collect beads that tell their own courageous story.
