Help Raise Awareness with a TMA Wristband For the past 3 years, thousands of our members have been helping to raise awareness of the TMA by wearing bright blue wristbands. They have been available on the TMA website and at our symposia for purchase. The wristbands are available in a marbled blue/grey in the adult size and solid blue in the youth size. The youth size also fits women with small wrists. These wrist bands are made with 100% synthetic silicone rubber and debossed with the abbreviations “TM-ADEM-NMO-ON” and “www.myelitis.org.” Many families have purchased these wristbands as party favors for birthday celebrations, fundraisers for raising research dollars, and to just proudly wear every day. Several people have sent us photos of themselves displaying their wristbands at known landmarks around the world. All of the money raised through the sale of the wristbands goes towards the cost of printing and mailing out the information that you receive in newsletters like this one, and for mailing out new member packets for those newly diagnosed with TM, ON, ADEM, and NMO. The wristbands are inexpensive – only $2.00 each – and you can either order them online at our website, making your purchase with a credit card transaction, or you can mail a check to The Transverse Myelitis Association and when we receive your payment, we mail them to you. To order online, please go to our website at: www.myelitis.org/wristbands.htm. For check payments, you would mail your payment along with your order request to: Specify “for TMA wrist bands” Shipping charges (current as of 6/15/09)
