Galactosemia Awareness Bracelet

Looking for a Perfect Holiday Gift? Introducing the ...

This bracelet was designed by PGC President, Michelle Fowler, in an effort to further awareness of galactosemia and the effects it has on those children with this rare disorder. Children with galactosemia are missing the GALT enzyme which is normally made by the ninth chromosome of DNA. In the bracelet, this enzyme-producing location is represented by the nine Swarovski colored crystals. The bracelet's other colored crystals represent qualities that we wish for our children and all who live with galactosemia to possess.

Violet signifies self-esteem that we strive to instill in our children, but which they sometimes lack due to living such a challenging life-style. Blue signifies sincerity, and health that those with a normal way of life must never take for granted. Jonquil signifies hope that, through research, a cure and better way of life for those with this disorder will be found.

The heart charm symbolizes the power of love - a love that reminds us that all people deserve compassion and understanding. To emphasize the uniqueness of each individual with galactosemia, the heart charm on each bracelet is different. Please accept the heart you receive just as you would embrace and love the unique gifts each child with galactosemia brings to the world.
