The Traveling Awareness Bears
The Traveling Awareness Bears is a non-profit organization focused on pediatric diseases, disorders, medical disciplines and genetic diseases programs.The organization’s purpose is to help children with pediatric diseases to “not feel like they are alone in their fight.” The organization has specific stuffed bears for specific diseases that they send around the country with a passport and a journal, which emphasizes that the children fighting rare pediatric illnesses have other children that are just like them. Each bear is individualized pertaining to whichever disease it represents. There are currently over 50 medical conditions with over 150 bears traveling the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chasa.org/our-favorite-orgs-the-traveling-awareness-bears/ )〕
== Origin ==
Elijah Rutherford and his mother, Jennifer Rutherford, founded Traveling Awareness Bears in 2012 〔 but the unofficial organization started much earlier than that. When he was 20 months old, Elijah was diagnosed with stroke in the utero.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.strokeassociation.org/STROKEORG/StrokeConnectionMagazine/ReadsSCNow/Travelling-Awareness-Bears--Stroke-Connection-Web0Extra_UCM_444443_Article.jsp )〕 When he was seven, Elijah started to send around stuffed bears with a shirt that said “Pediatric Stroke Awareness” to other kids diagnosed with stroke. His mother says that he did this because Elijah felt that there was not enough awareness on pediatric illnesses besides cancer. The organization started on a Facebook page titled “Pediatric Stroke Awareness”. It started with only one bear individualized to Pediatric Stroke but increased to many other diseases.〔
