I would like to thank everyone that submitted photos for our awareness video that was played at our benefit dinner last weekend. Out of the photos/stories received, we used 4 to go along with ours. We hope that this video will help spread the awareness about these injuries. You can view it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efjJZWNQyMw

The benefit dinner was a success. I am very pleased with the response and the amount of people we were able to reach to spread the awareness about these injuries!! We will be having our 2nd Annual BPI Family & Friends Picnic in October to kick off BPI Awareness Week. This will be a free event. More details to come!!

Looks great! Glad that I could help!

Thanks Marieke!!!!!!

I have not cried that much in soooo... long. To see all of these poor children affected by this. I posted this on my facebook for everyone I know to see because I don't feel that people quite understand. All they tell me is how he looks like there's nothing even wrong with him. That should make me happy, right? I feel like they have no idea. I'm just grateful that my son is healthy otherwise and for the most part, happy. He's been a miracle in this. Gone from no movement at all to where he's at now. It's the unexpected. What a wonderful job!

Thanks for sharing. It is nice to know that there is a community of people who understand what we have been through so we can support each other and share ideas.

Wonderful video!! this sure will help parents explain to family members and others a child's "Injury Journey".

I am soooo happy your fund raiser was a success!

Hugs all around,

Nice. Is there like one of those awareness ribbons for EP? If not, I'm a graphic designer and would love to make one.

Janet, if you looks here: http://ubpn.org/
scroll down and look on the right side. There under Awareness you will see UBPN Store (not the Amazon one) and you can see what they have. There are ribbons there

marieke , Thanks !!

I meant more digital so I can put it on my web page. Is it silver?

LOL.. ah!

Yes I think it is supposed to be silver.. you could add blue in there too I should think, as our awareness bracelets are blue
