Pediatric Bipolar Magnetic Awareness Ribbon

I did some handy dandy cut and paste moves and this is only a partial list off the first 4 pages of what I am sure are thousands of pages of images and websites.


I am all for advocating causes. I am very passionate about a few of these issues as well. But have you ever driven down the road behind a car and wondered what the magnetic ribbon on the person's car in front of you stands for?

I think maybe we have overused this particular form of awareness education and it may be time to move on to T-Shirts, key chains or something else?

This thought comes from seeing a car with at least 8 ribbons on it. Pick a cause but 8? That seems a bit much!
