Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Bracelets! | Arthritis Information
Hi Everybody,
I've been viewing this site for years but I am new to the message boards. I have been searching for RA Awareness bracelets for a while now (I see all kinds of other causes, so I figure why not ours? Awareness could help us out a great deal) and I couldn't find them anywhere, even on the vast world wide web. While searching, I learned that the official awareness colors for RA are blue and purple together (blue represents arthritis in general). So to make a long story short I decided to have them custom-made. They are 100% silicone, half blue and half purple, and have the words "Rheumatoid Arthritis" embossed on the blue side. Now my family, friends and I wear them in support of me, my sister and my 5-year old neice and all of you out there who are also hoping desperately for a cure.
And since this is something I was looking for, I thought others might be interested as well. I ordered a bunch (in children's, medium and large sizes) and I figure if there is interest out there, I could sell them for each and donate from each sale to the Arthritis Foundation. Does anybody thing there might be interest out there? Thank you.
Sounds like a great idea. I was looking for an RA awareness ribbon myself. Do you have any pictures you could share?Yes, if you have pictures please post them so we can see.

Yup, me too!
I would be VERY interested. I have a large family. They all wanted joined me when I did the AF 5k. They don't have one in Phoenix anymore and I bet you a lot of them would love to have one. Please post info...
I looked on the internet and there is one beautiful one on there but it is .00!!!! We have a cool bead store in our city, so I'm going to make one of my own. I'll post it when I get done. It will be a few days, hopefully this weekend.

LyndeeNZ2009-08-24 01:08:56I too have searched and have been unable to find any. Everyone at my work said they would wear one if I got some. I have been wearing ones I snitched off my daughter that she got from gumball machines, I picked ones with supportive words like, Never give up and Survivor. Have had alot of questions about those. Cant wait to get one of these, I will shoot you an email. Thank you, Linda
I love this one! It is a little too expensive for my blood, but I really like it.
