Beads 2 Treasure was actually founded in March of 2003 as a result of my dear friend, Jeanne DeMartino. Inspired by Jeanne's cancer journey through a double mastectomy, 16 weeks of chemotherapy and 34 radiation treatments, the first bracelet "Beating Breast Cancer" was designed. Witnessing her journey and others at her clinic, gave me a glimpse of what cancer patients go through. Jeanne is now in remission and is a true inspiration to those who know and love her. She recently celebrated her 5th year of survivorship by race walking the half marathon in San Francisco. You rock Jeanne!
“I will never forget the night Linda gave me the beautiful breast cancer bracelet. She made it for me so that when I wore the bracelet it would remind me of her love and support through my cancer challenge. It is, needless to say, my most cherished and favorite piece of jewelry. I wear it everyday and DO feel her love for me. My “pink” bracelet is now worn by so many other women who have breast cancer or know someone who does. I love my bracelet and I love my dear friend, Linda!”
Beads 2 Treasure hopes that its Jewelry for a Cause line will continue to help spread awareness, will continue to be a source of hope and support to those who wear it, and finally, hopes that it will become a “treasured” piece of jewelry.
With the launch of the new website, Beads 2 Treasure has added some of its own “designer” jewelry as well. We hope you enjoy your visit to our website. Please visit again soon so you don’t miss out on any of the latest and greatest additions.

Sincerely, Linda Beduhn Founder/President
