Just a reminder...
I'm trying to raise money for UBPN through my fundraising site:
http://www.firstgiving.com/heddip
Please email your friends & coworkers the link, to help raise awareness for BPI. BTW, we've raised $225 so far!
Thanks,
Heddi

Another way to raise awareness is to start a blog about your experiences with BPI.
I started one mostly as a way to explore and write down my feelings about my accident, but am starting to share it now, even though it's very new.
Joel's blog gave me the idea (thanks Joel!), and not only has it been really good for me, but I got a donation to UBPN from sending it to one of my graphic design clients (I have a link to my fundraising site on there).
If you want to start your own blog this site is great:
https://www.blogger.com/start
And if you want to check out my blog go to:
http://challengedathletesworld.blogspot.com/
It might be easier to send a blog link to friends & family to raise awareness, than to ask for a donation.

Thank You ,Heddi, For your helpful suggestion. I'm thinking about doing something like that. I'm working on "courage" right now.
