We've reached 7,000 people!

We've reached 7,000 people!

I have been so busy with the store (GPfight.bigcartel.com), working a few days a week, all the holiday stuff and sadly not feeling too good, that I have not had time to do the over-haul I wanted on here!

There are several 'fighters' that need to be added to the tab on top and a few tabs that need to be modified, among other things.

So thank you, for your continued support while I have been away. Now that the majority of major holidays are past us, it is my hope to be able to get more done here!

Wishing you all a wonderful 2014!!

Who Won The 2013 "Best Inspirational Tattoo"?

As some of you may know, I created a Facebook Page called "Tats For Gastroparesis & Awareness".   There were so many people posting pictures of their new tattoos that I felt a page was missing to capture all of their great artwork!   There have been over 200 likes on the page and 26 people entered.  Amazing!   I never thought the page would take off as well as it has in the community and wanted to thank you all.  If you are on Facebook you can find the page here: www.facebook.com/TatsForGastroparesis

The voting ended at 11pm Eastern Time on December 20, 2013 with a very nice zebra design sent in by Jodie's Journey.  Here is a link to a page that tells their great story.  It also happens to be their fundraising page:  http://www.justgiving.com/jodiesjourney

Again, thank you all for participating in the event.  You all should be so proud of your tattoo no matter who 'won'.  Each tat tells a unique story and we are thankful that you shared them with us!   This also gives others a chance to see all the designs and help them create something for them.

Some of you may not have access to Facebook, so I will post the winning picture below!

GP Fight Store - Updated

We are happy to announce that the "GP Fight" store has been stocked with more items and is up and running for business!  

Check it out at:  www.GPfight.bigcartel.com

There is a little bit of everything for everyone.  Following is a small sample of what is available:

  • Gastroparesis (GP) Awareness Ribbon Cling for your car or truck
  • Buttons & Keychains (4 styles to choose from)
  • Shirts (4 styles to choose from)
  • Pens
  • Greeting Cards

Item costs are as low as we can posiably make them.  This was our main goal in creating this store for you!  To make sure that you would be able to afford something to spread GP Awareness.   And we know how hard it is to wait for something to be mailed to you when you place an on-line order!  For that reason we work hard to get your orders assembled and shipped within 1 - 3 business days.  

If there is something that you do not see or we don't have enough in stock to fill your wish, e-mail us via our store link and we will see what we can do for you!
