I have the ribbon on my car. It is the exact same as the ribbon in my blog. I noticed yours is written in cursive. I like it better. I'll be getting a blue circle too when I find one.<BR/><BR/>Vivian,<BR/><BR/>Those statistics are sad, but very, very true. The one that got to me the most was that in Mozambique if you are diagnosed with Type 1 you will be dead within a year. How horrible. Those poor people, those poor parents. We are truly blessed.Penny Ratzlaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368479901015692591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-2073955723408796352007-11-06T08:24:00.000-05:002007-11-06T08:24:00.000-05:00Great post.

The ribbon is being used for everything. We need to stand out.Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678716062433949143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19128701.post-36894416372480059932007-11-05T16:23:00.000-05:002007-11-05T16:23:00.000-05:00Thanks for this, Penny.

It's a much more attractive symbol, don't you think? And who says we need to have a ribbon, anyway? I think a blue circle helps us stand out amongst the crowd!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845901120926051578noreply@blogger.com
