Just to clarify.. I wasn't thinking about pink for OCF. Just for the ring for the breast cancer. Does OCF have a color? Maybe we should adopt one.

Maybe we should think up something unique that the world might try to copy like the bracelets. I wear my livestrong bracelet everyday and sometimes I don't take it off. It is a constant reminder to me that this can be conquered and overcome. I wore it before Harry was diagnosed because I believe in the message and now it carries even more significance since we now live within this world.

If I had something like that for OCF I would pass them around by the hundreds and remind people that there are more dangers out there than they are aware. A reminder to prevent, to get regular check ups, to support and to survive.

I ordered my T-shirts and I can't wait for them to arrive. I will wear them proudly because to me they represent all of you.

I know this might sound sappy but I mean it from the core of my heart....

Before last Dec. I had no reason to know any of you and I suppose that I could have gone my whole life that way... but now I carry you all with me everyday. Because the struggle is hard... for patient, caregiver, family and friends. You all invited me in, have listened to my fears and my ignorance, you have given yourselves selflessly and all to my enormous benefit.

So whatever the shirts look like, whatever idea comes to be manifest, I will buy them for my family and friends and I will wear them proudly always.

Here is another thought for an OCF specific shirt.....

I don't know what logo you could put on it but the entire shirt could be covered with survivor signatures. I have seen this thing done on other shirts and it makes a real impact when you see all of the names, signed and spread across the shirt. Obviously there is no way to put them all but, volunteers could offer to sign and the point would get accross loud and clear... "There are more of US than you know".

Just a thought.

Thanks again to all of you for being here!
