I understand the silver ribbons but what does the bell symbolize? I dont remember reading about it.

In our very first awareness week, one of our themes was ringing in Awareness, so it comes from that.

Re: brachial plexus week
If you are looking for supplies to make ribbons check out Michaels or Hobby Lobby. I found this great garland last year with tons of little silver bells on it. It was with the christmas decorations. i hit the clearance and bought several rolls of it and silver ribbon so i would have them for making awarness stuff this year.

Don't know about you lot, but I find that sewing is one of the MOST difficult things it is possible to do with a BPI.
Just a 'throwaway' observation... I think the idea of making Awareness ribbons is sound.

Myself, I'm not proficient in any sewing...ha, ha. So I took the easy way out with these silver ribbons. I contacted UBPN and bought them. My daughter (ROBPI), son, myself, therapists, and family members all wear them. Thanks so much.
