Finnspiration Bear is a tribute to Finn - a boy who lived life by loving it and loved life by living it. Sadly, Finn died on October 9, 2008 of a rare form of childhood cancer.
Each year, the Starlight Children’s Foundation releases a special bear. 2010 marks the first year Starlight has worked with a British Columbia family in the creation of something magical. The 2010 Finnspiration Bear was designed by Finn’s twin brother, five year old Baird and Finn’s eight year old sister Sarah. Finnspiration Bear has warm brown eyes like his namesake and a touch of pink – Finn’s favorite colour.
The rabbits on Finnspiration Bear’s paws are designed to capture the mantra that governed Finn’s life; Run, Jump, Bounce, Dance, Sing, Love, Smile and Ride.Yes, we know Finnspiration looks somewhat like a bunny – but he is, in reality a bear with bunny ears; a tribute to Finn’s all time favorite stuffed toy Pink Bear – who was actually a rabbit and an emergency replacement for a well loved, lost Blue Bear. Finnspiration Bear carries on in the tradition of Pink Bear and proudly wears his long ears as a tribute to the magic of childhood. Finnspiration Bear is a tribute not only to Finn; it is also about the magic of childhood, the strength of family and the power of friendship. You can purchase a Finnspiration Bear for only $20 with net proceeds going to the Starlight Foundation. Finnspiration Bear gives you a rare opportunity to give some Finnspiration to someone you love. |
