A Beautiful Way To Support Cancer Research
When award-winning American fashion designer Salvatore J. Cesarani lost his wife of nearly 50 years to carcinoid cancer in February, he knew he had to do something to educate the public about this relatively unknown disease. So he decided to do what he does best and create a one-of-a-kind, fine leather and chrome-plated bracelet that could serve as a catalyst for raising funds toward finding effective treatments and a cure.
100% of the proceeds from the "N.M.C. - No More Cancer, Searching for a Cure" bracelet will support the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation. Learn more about the cause and purchase the bracelet on the CESARANI website.
