Create a Countdown Friend That Is Personal to the Recipient

Choose a Ribbon Color

Select from eight available satin ribbon colors. Ribbon colors are often associated with particular types of cancer. You may, if you wish, choose one of the eight colors based simply on what has special meaning for the recipient, a favorite color, or a color you think the recipient will like.

The most meaningful choice is the one that feels right for the person receiving the Countdown Friend.

Choose the Number of Treatments

Choose one ribbon for every scheduled chemotherapy or radiation treatment. The teddy bear will arrive with the same number of removable ribbons as the number of scheduled treatments entered.

Add a Personal Message

Include a personal message for the recipient. Your message can provide encouragement, express your support, or simply let the recipient know you are thinking of them.
