Awareness challenge

I have challenged my non bpi friends to tie one hand to their belt loop for a day. Some have agreed. One who has Retinitis pigmentosa challenged me back and I am going to smear a thin layer of vaseline on my glasses and block out part of my visual field. This way we get to see how both of us get around during an average day.
My challenge to non bpi reading this is to try tying one arm to your waist for a day.I suggest tying your elbow to your waist.

post the challenge on your FB status, they don't have to be nearby to try it.

I changed my profile picture to show my bpi as a child. Most people who know me ( and even family members) don't seem to be aware how challenged I have been.

I love the fact that you put up the STOP button Gayle, I took my lead from you and posted it with information.

In my case I'm sure my family will not be paying much attention to it. I guess they are use to it...
