Why Hugs

Hugs are powerful, transformative and capable of healing everything from a broken heart to a physical ailment. Hugs have been the cornerstone of Krista's early cure efforts, giving her the strength needed to defy the odds in and out of the hospital. Krista wants to encourage everyone to share this small but mighty gift. 
 

How to Participate

1. Hug Someone

Hug your family, your friends, the Starbucks barista or your cat. And don't stop with just one. Kids and dogs in particular require multiple hugs per day. 

2. Make it Count

Our goal is 100,000 hugs, and here are a few ways to make yours count: 

• Post to Social:
  Post about your hugs on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram with these tags: #hugmission and @kristascure. You can post selfie pictures of the hug, a picture of the recipient's smile after-the-fact, or you can simply post a few words about all your hugging. Each post counts as one hug and helps spread the word to others.

• Submit Your Hugs: 
  Submit your total hugs each day/week/etc. using the form on the right side of this page. If you are a super hugger and hug multiple people multiple times per day, then please come back often with your tallies.

3. Rally the Troops

Encourage friends, family and co-workers to join the mission. Use the Facebook or Twitter buttons below to share this page. You can even copy and paste this link (  http://www.kristascure.com/hugmission  )  into an email. Or simply challenge your friends to follow your lead when you post about your hugs.

Here's where you can tell your full story, Krista... OR you can make it a blog post and we'll just link to it from here. Whatever you want to do.
