I received this e-mail from Terri Gardner (I member of this forum also, but an extremely busy one!) and am sharing it with all of you.
I have an exciting opportunity for you or any of your forum members who might be interested. I'm sure that I told you about my involvement with www.medtees.com This is a very cool website run by a Chicago area physician and his wife, who is a psychologist. They have created these shirts that create awareness of different diseases and are very empowering to wear. As I said, it is a not-for-profit venture with proceeds going to run the website and to charities such as the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.
My daughter and I have been helping promote the IBD shirts ("semi-colon") and in return, we have received some valuable publicity for Crohn's and Colitis. Medtees is getting a great deal of media attention in the US both locally and nationally. The folks who run Medtees have asked me to help them with an exciting new project. They are looking for mottos for a new Crohn's and Colitis shirt that younger IBD'ers (high school/college/young adult) would want to wear. (It can be generic to IBD or specific to Crohn's or Colitis) They want to find something that is subtle, but gets the point across and creates awareness. They have asked me to put a "call out" for mottos. They are working with a designer and have some great designs and just need a motto to put with them.
I would like to invite you and anyone you know (friends, your forum, etc) to submit ideas. If an idea is chosen , it will be used to create this new shirt and will most likely be featured on television appearances and perhaps be worn by a celebrity. Most important, it will really help get the word out- especially if it is somethng lots of people would wear.
Here is the link to the ABC-7 News story about Medtees that Gemma and I appeared in last month:

It helps give an idea of what Medtees are all about. Please feel free to spread this link around with the "call for tee mottos." Any ideas can be sent to my official campaign e-mail address at cureibd@hotmail.com
I am hoping to perhaps incorporate this new t-shirt motto and design with the premiere of True Guts this Fall. I think we really stand to make an impact!
Thanks for any assistance you can offer with this.
take care,
Terri
IF you have any ideas e-mail them to the address above, or post them here for critque and comments. Personally I had thought that something revolving around the double meaning of "crap" would be good ("you think you have to deal with crap?"), but please do not limit yourself to that idea. Think what would be the most humourous, most appealing and give the most awareness to the disease. Try and be the one who creates the saying that will be worn by others to raise IBD awareness.
