MS Ribbon and Wristband

As some of you know, my mom has MS. Finally, they have come out with the Red MS "hope" wristband and the MS prism ribbon. Support MS research, buy a ribbon or a wristband!!! Or, go to the below website to learn more about MS.

Whatever the cause, you can find a ribbon that, by its color, denotes the individual’s support of that cause. By wearing a ribbon on your clothing, you are signifying that you are aware of the disease and are a part of the awareness campaign. By donating money, merchandise or your time, or wearing a ribbon, you are helping to make a difference in the life of someone affected by multiple sclerosis.Not everybody is the same and because multiple sclerosis affects each individual in so many different ways, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Minnesota Chapter has adopted the “Prism Ribbon” to represent multiple sclerosis. This ribbon changes colors with movement, light or position.

The changing colors of the ribbon signify that multiple sclerosis is an ever changing and unpredictable disease seen in different lights and different ways but is ever constant. The changing colors also indicate the ever-changing forward movement the Minnesota Chapter makes to meet the needs of people with MS as we continue to work to end the devastating effects of MS.The “Prism Ribbon” also reminds us that the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is one thing that people with MS can always count on.

Hey you I was going to put somethihg on my blog about that! Well I think I still will I'm going to wait until this week end maybe Sat. I got the red braclets today. If you're notcoming home any time soon maybe I can send you some in the mail. Thanks for passing the word! The more places it's on the web the more people that get to see it. Have you seen the picture of the cast of Scrubs where they all have the red band of hope on? I thought that since you are a fan of the show you would like that. Have a good day MOM
