Kyron bracelets are local mom's way of helping out

PORTLAND, Ore. - A Skyline Elementary parent is doing what she can to help bring Kyron Horman, the local 7-year-old who has been missing for two and a half months, home.
Piper McFarland is selling 'Bring Home Kyron' bracelets outside the Hillsboro Fred Meyer store near Imbrie Drive and Cornelius Pass.
The bracelets, which cost $2, are blue and yellow to represent the school's colors. All proceeds will help offset the cost of the investigation, which is running into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"I think any little bit helps, money wise, and just keeping Kyron's face and name out there," said McFarland.
One of the coordinators of the effort said they sold about 300 of the bracelets on Sunday and took in almost $1,000 from the sales and other donations.
The Fred Meyer store where McFarland set up shop is one of two that investigators believe Terri Horman visited after attending Kyron's science fair the day he disappeared.
