The Pencil that Heals Cancer
The pencil is no longer just for writing. It can heal people with cancer too!
The Black Pencil Project is supporting Step Juan: A Walk for Children with Cancer. Step Juan believes in the dream of one man, Tomas Leonor to raise funds for cancer-inflicted children of the Cancer Warriors Foundation. The walking journey will send participants to travel without vehicle from North to South – Pagudpod (North Luzon) to Sorsogon (South Luzon). Ample stops will be given for food and rest only.
Edwin Karganilla, the co-founder of the Black Pencil Project promises to donate ten (10) pencils for every kilometre covered by the walk. These will in turn, be given to the preferred beneficiary of Leonor.
The walk for a cause has begun since January 11, 2010. The Black Pencil Project is looking at a figure of 12, 940 pencils to give away by the end of Step Juan. The mission is not just to provide pencils, but to heal the wounds of a child with cancer by giving him a chance to live a normal childhood.
How is this possible? It starts with “step one” – support the cause.
