I LOVE this idea! I dont think there is one right now either, but I really hope Jill sees this and designates one. Then, even if we all send letters to different mags, newspapers and talk shows, thru out the year, on IC Awareness day, we could ALL do it at the same time to the same people.

We could have an IC awareness day, and we'd all wear our Tshirts and sweatchirts from my shop, and we can have a Five K or Ten K walk a thon!!!! We can raise money for IC Awareness and research!!!!!

That would be awesome! (But these days, I'd have to ride along beside you guys in one of those motorized carts like they have at Walmart...I dont think I could even walk in a 1/2 K ) But, I could load down the cart with water for all of ya and yell real loud! :woohoo:
It would be cool to have it in Washington D.C. (like other causes do when they have those "March on Washington" rallies. You know like the Million Moms march and the Million Man march, etc. We could march over to Congress and demand better pain care for chronic pain patients! (I am just thinking aloud here...)

Reason: add info
We're going to get it in the works. Jill and I have plans to talk about it later this week and I'm going to start designing the shirts. Even those who can't participate by walking can wear the shirts and cheer others on. We don't mind carts (I'll need one too) we can have a cart-a -thon!

Sorry your teeth have been bothering you. Lord knows we have enough time just having IC, without other things going wrong too. I hope that you feel better after they pull the offending ones. Take care of yourself and hope they give you some decent pain meds that will cover all your tooth pain and bladder pain too! Big hugs, Amy
Oh you are so welcome! I'm very excited and will let you guys know what is going on when we have news. I'm in the middle of a move, so I have to try to find time for everything. It will get done though! Never fear!
