We could have categories coming out the ying yang! Best recovery, cleanest scars, worst scars (I should have worst wrapped up), medical achievements, awareness awards, and on and on! Maybe best blog posts category and replies most viewed, most informed, most helpful, and from all ostomy-related sites. Help society understand where health dollars are spent, and the goals we have achieved as well as the goals we are reaching for tomorrow. Awareness of the sponsorships throughout the world, educational awareness awards.
So in time, we would try to gather regionally or in major centers throughout the world to celebrate the strength of people on a mission, to perhaps put an end to all these surgeries. With a super drug or natural remedies, whatever it is, to take us to the next level. Putting an end to not understanding the early stages and treatments available if at all possible. Once a year, we would celebrate. Give us a reason to meet one another, other than just at our monthly meetings and gatherings.
We could start on this site (if that's legal) to organize some awards of sort, to be simple to get it off the ground, and see what happens. Do it as a team. A Great Canadian Philosopher once said, "Keep your stick on the ice." I think it was Red Green. We could put a new meaning to "brown bagging it." Why not!
