Hello friends and fibromites
Sorry I have neglected you but I have been a trifle busy what with one thing and another – in particular Fibro What?
Well the new fund raising Fibro What CD which is helping to boost funds for research to find a cure – that we all desperately want – has been a success.
Fibroyalgia Support Groups up and down the UK have been buying the new Fibro What CD by Dom Collins, our FM benefactor from Manchester, who so graciously wrote and donated this song and three tongue in cheek tracks. To hear a verse or two log on to www.domcollins.co.uk/MYSPACE.
You will hear an extract from Fibro What lyrics and sample Dom’s northern humour about every day life. There is a bit more news about Dom Collins on the jeannehambleton77.weblog under May 12 is Fibro What Day – click on to My Dashboards in the menu above.
I am also glad to tell you that the Fibro What slogan has caught on and folks have asked for Fibro What tee shirts and tote bags to help with the disappearing plastic bags – at least that is what is happening in the UK.
So now we have CDs, tees and totes all available with the Fibro What slogan to help fund research. There are also some red tees and totes with the words MY F WORD – FIBROMYALGIA. What is more it works. You should try it. It actually diffuses the situation as it takes so long to say it. Somehow it has a lot more gusto than the four letter word we hear so often – and you will be spreading awareness too.
While life has been a bit busy it is also satisfying to find folk willing to buy the CD for friend or a tote just to support research. I have said before with three very funny tracks on the Fibro What CD you do not need to have fibromyalgia to laugh with Dom.
FATHERS’ DAY GIFT
Talking about giving a gift this CD would make a good Father’s Day gift especially as one of the funny tracks is called ‘Can you lend me a tenner Dad?’ In case Mum feels left out, why not add a tote to your list. The other silly songs include ‘A Girl Called Chips”, and ‘Does my ar.. look big in these?” Well we all know the answer to that – a definite NO! or our life will not be worth living.
If you are interested in sizes, prices and postage of any of the Fibro What fund raisers email fibrowhat@mac.com for more details and you can then make your payment through Paypal. Keep well. Think positive. Tell your friends about Fibro What? and our research project. Talk again soon. Jeanne
