MS came out with not only one of those wristbands for hope this year (being sold through MD Giant Pharmacies by the way), but they came up with a svarovski crystal charm bracelet with the silver hope ribbon on it. Dang.
The one thing about all of these tchackis for a cause tho is that not only do they raise awareness of the problem, they also raise money for the causes, albeit a small amount of money. But if everyone in the country spent one dollar on a piece of five cent rubber for a cause, then that'd be one hell of a stipend going to the cause.
I do know what you mean, though. I want to help with every TW cause we have, but I find myself at the point where I'm stretching myself too thin... But you have to remember, there's only so much of you to go around, and if you don't push for your own cause, not many people will.
You have to pick your battles for charities just like you pick your battles in the rest of your life.
*HUGS* It never seems like enough. But it has to be, or you wipe yourself out in the process.
