Profile Edited by Layout Source MySpace Editor© The Balloon 4 Healing Project was inspired by: Natalie Smith-Blakeslee and Dr.Stephen Hodack "The Balloons 4 Healing Project" is for bereaved Moms and Dads who have lost children. There are situations, such as illness or having moved to another state, that prevent a bereaved parent from visiting his or her child's grave site. "The Balloons 4 Healing Project" would ensure that those parents could count on another parent to help them remember their child's Heaven Date and Birth Date. Moms and Dads from all around the world can be a part of the Balloons 4 Healing Project. Please email Dr. Stephen Hodack [email protected] or Natalie Smith-Blakeslee at [email protected] for details of Moms and Dads in your area who are willing to help make your day easier after the loss of your child. The Balloons 4 Healing Project involves: *Flowers and/or the release of balloons at or near your child's resting place * Digital photos of the event to send off to the bereaved Mom or Dad. * A phone call, if so desired, to the bereaved parent during the event. * On August 17th of each year there will be a worldwide release of one purple balloon by each parent from their desired location, in memory of their child. The first Balloon 4 Healing release is set for August 17th, 2006. "Keeping our child alive through the memories we share and the balloons we release" is our slogan.

Balloons and the Environment BALLOONS AND THEIR BIO-DEGRADABLE NATURE There are two types of balloons in wide general use - latex and mylar. This distinction is important because each type requires different handling. Latex balloons are easily identified by their elastic character and are composed of natural rubber sap and small amounts of non-toxic coagulants and pigments. They are 100% bio-degradable. When exposed to outdoor elements they are completely consumed by soil or water micro-organisms at a rate quicker than that experienced by an oak leaf under identical conditions. In much the same way maple syrup is harvested from the maple tree, the production of latex balloons contributes positively to the preservation of tropical rain forests.Mylar balloons are made with mylar nylon, a material developed for use with the US space program. Balloons made from mylar are often coated with a metallic finish and are available in a variety of shapes and imprinted designs. Mylar balloons are not classified bio-degradable and should not be released.HELIUM - PART OF THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE Helium is a lighter-than-air gas used to inflate balloons. It exists in small quantities within the earth's atmosphere and is mined from underground pools where it accumulates as a by-product of the earth's production of natural gas. Helium is non-toxic, non-flammable, and has no harmful effects on the earth's environment.ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BALLOON RELEASES When a latex balloon is released, it rises to a height of approximately 28,000 feet, with the helium gas expanding as it rises. With temperatures dropping to minus 40 degrees at this altitude, the balloon freezes. As the helium continues to expand in the frozen balloon, the balloon undergoes "brittle fracturing" and ruptures into small slivers which scatter and fall to earth. A small percentage of balloons which are released will experience leaks from defects and will not rise high enough to freeze and burst. The distance they travel and their distribution will be determined by current prevailing winds.Research indicates that if 10% of the balloons from a 500 balloon release were to fall into this category, the average distribution would be one balloon per 15 square mile area.Healing Hearts Haven: Http://www.healingheartshaven.com Love and Light Natalie Smith-Blakeslee Carrie's Mom Love and Light Blessings too!
