There are only 2 ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

I want mine NOW.. I have 3 daughters and 3 sons-in-law and 8grandchildren so I need to order 16 in all the sizes you have LOL GREAT IDEA!Dyane Phoenix IPF 02>> Leanne S. and I have talked off and on about raising awareness invarious ways and some of us in Texas wanted to see, if the rest of thecountry wanted to join in on wearing Blue T-shirts on Fridays? With allthe other better known disease groups using pink and red and every othercolor, we settled on Blue because of the color our lungs become withoutoxygen.>> If enough people are interested we can even design our own shirt orjust keep it simple and put a "slogan" on it...like 'PulmonaryFibrosis...it takes your breath away'. We are totally open and wouldlike your suggestions on this grass roots project....I think it issomething everyone can do, and sooner or later, when people startnoticing others in Blue T-Shirts they will start asking us what is PF? When we see a pink ribbon on a shirt we just know it is for BreastCancer Awareness... .if we all band together we can make Blue for PF aswell known too:)>> We would love to hear your thoughts...What do you think?!>> {Leanne, thank you for your support and permission in sharing thisidea with everyone online! Between the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation inChicago, the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis in California and thePulmonary Fibrosis Association in Texas, we can all make a difference inhelping to raise awareness of a disease that no one still hears about.>> Jan>
