If there is a Blue Shirt on someone tomorrow, it must be Friday and the

person wearing the Blue Shirt must be helping to raise awareness of

Pulmonary Fibrosis! Ask them! The idea is to start conversations:)

They may not even be aware they are wearing our "pink ribbon" so we all

agree we are going to teach them! Someone needs to...don't you think?

It is scarey how little is known and how few know about our disease.

You are changing that:) You are empowered and powerful...you may have

Pulmonary Fibrosis, but it doesn't have you nor define you. It doesn't

have your spirit or your determination to make changes in this disease

right where you live:)

It won't be long before we all have our official Blue T-Shirts as a

result of our very own, patient driven, Grass Roots Campaign to raise

awareness for the disease we live with daily. We will work on a

collared shirt for those who cannot wear a T-Shirt to work soon!

Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients and those who love them are driving this

Awareness Program from coast to coast and across the ocean to the

United Kingdom. Patients are taking it on themselves to let those they

come into contact with know about their disease! It is a ripple

effect....we tell one, who tells one, who tells one...it will have

amazing results that will assist all who work with and for Pulmonary

Fibrosis patients around the world. It won't be long before many other

people will start putting together the fact that a Blue Shirt on Friday

must mean they are supporting Pulmonary Fibrosis. Our goal is for it to

become our "pink ribbon". The concept is that our lungs, when healthy,

are nice and pink, when hypoxic, oxygen starved, they turn blue, the

reason behind the color for the shirt.

The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation in Chicago and the Pulmonary Fibrosis

Association of Texas, Inc., both 501©(3)Nonprofits,are

supporting and co-sponsoring the development of the shirts. Any funds

over and above the cost of the shirts will go toward research efforts

of the Foundation and meeting oxygen needs of PF patients by the

Association.

Till we have the final shirt drafted and ready to be ordered any Blue

Shirt is good!!

What color are you going to wear tomorrow!!
