An organization in Susquehanna County is comforting sick women and children through creativity and the group's efforts could land them in the Guinness book of world records.

The portable playhouse is a non-profit group which provides specialized art therapy at hospitals and cancer centers.

Now -- they're trying to set the record for the world's longest beaded necklace -- and the public can help-out through donations.

Maryann Corey is founder of the Portable Playhouse.

She says creativity is good for the recovery process, "it's such a joy to see their faces when they create and the most important thing is that the whole time they are creating they are not thinking of their illness. And their body is relaxing. And it works better when it's relaxing... We all know that. So we just do it through a specialized beading program."
