About the Medals
	Antlers used in this project were harvested in the bush after they dropped off the animal. The four coloured beads at the top of every necklace represent the four Nations. The shell represents a Turtle which in turn represents Mother Earth. The small red bead on the inside of the shell represents that this message is coming from the heart. The small white feather on the bottom of the shell stands for hope that there will be a cure for AIDS in the future. The small red bead on the bottom of the shell represents the blood stream. The 2010 Partici-Patrick and RunWalk4Patrick Family Fest medals were designed and hand crafted by Fred Restoule. Thank you Fred!
