I decided to put this under this board, but I am not sure where it goes.Yall are not gonna believe this!
The story...I felt moved to put the video by Allison on my website on myspace. Most of you know that. Three days ago I felt pressed to do something for awareness. BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT! Then out of the blue, I got it......and I know this was God working on me. I had the idea for a motorcycle ride for awareness. Awareness for OBPI and since it can be caused by accidents the TBPI as well. I thought about this and thought about this. My brother n law is in motorcycle Gang in Arkansas, but my husband said they probably wouldn't do it. So I prayed, and I prayed yesterday and last night. And this morning in the paper, was a article about a Christian motorcycle group called Road Riders for Jesus. They tell how they are a nondenominational group trying to spread the message. AND that they love to go where God calls them when others need their help. MY ANSWER!!
SO I shook all over and felt like crying, and although it was only 7:12am, I called this woman......and she answered. So polite. Her husband is the local chapters head person. Not sure his title.
I explained that I was sorry to call so early and then explained my last three days ordeal. Her reply...God works in mysterious ways. Give me some information, we have a meeting August 22, and I will bring this up. We will need some information ....so I gave her the UBPN address and told her about the pamphlets, and that I had the video, and would share any information they needed. She said hunny, we can not do it this year we have a lot of rides, but since awareness week is in October, we can try for next year if that is OK. OK...OMG....I cried. And cried and cried and told God how sorry I was for ever doubting him. Because we have been through so much and I saw no end. My mind is forever changed.
This is the kicker...they have groups all over the U.S. So, this is my though,please take a minute to go to their website www.roadridersforjesus.org and contact a chapter closest to you. If we can get ALL chapters involved, imagine the awareness this will bring.
I need some help here, never ever been pressed so strongly by The Lord for anything.
I called and left Nancy a message, hoping to hear from her sometime today. Let's see where this takes us.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.

Re: Need help for Awareness
Carolyn,
Sure , no problem, I didn't even think to add if in case anyone has not seen Allisons video yet. My myspace url is http://myspace.com/arkansas_sweet_t
The funny thing is, until this month, I idn't haev one either. But I figured awarenss is a great thing there casue you never know who will see yor profile. And I have met some wonderful people on there.
OH,You can also find the video on you tube, Thanks to Francine.
Hugs
