BAND FROM TEXTING

My project is called BAND FROM TEXTING. The product that I am selling is a silicone wristband, but there is a catch. When you get into the car to drive, you stretch the wristband around your phone to prevent you from using the phone while driving. Even if you do not have a car, you are encouraged to buy these wristbands, which help support programs that educate citizens on the dangers of texting while driving. These programs will include statewide television stations, education programs in schools or in drivers ed classes, lobbying for the issue, and anything else that you may think of! You can send messages to me if you have an idea about where else the money should go. Please do consider purchasing my product! It is only a dollar, but your one dollar may one day save a life! more

Fit

Why this project is needed.(More in detail below the inspiration COMING SOON) -Diabetes -Globally (The USA is looked to as an example for many developing and developed countries, yet now our influence is spreading obesity to them as well) -For Ourselves, For our families, for a better tomorrow! Inspiration While walking around a well known and largely visited amusement park with my best friend, Her mom, and my mom, I was disturbed to see the food options at this million if not billion dollar tourist trap. Everywhere you turned you saw salt or sugar and only salt and sugar was being sold everywhere. There were fruit options but the prices for fruit seemed Fresh was double if not more expensive than say a bag of chips, water was more expensive than a soda or sugar juice. It was disturbing. It gets better. While waiting in line, I saw a special assistance line filled with people. I once was allowed in the line due to a family members health complication. We basically saved hours due to the fact it was a line with at max us and two other small groups. The line in 2012 was filled with people who were literally too obese to stand up, and had to be in wheel chairs or on scooters. Yet they continued to inhale super sized sodas and bags of fried salted chips. And when they got up to get on the ride they either couldn't or were out of breathe standing and pushed to the limits walking 2 feet to the rides seat to sit down again. It gets worse once they sat down they needed a seat belt extension or couldn't fit In the ride at all literally sinking the ride into the track. Recently at the amusement park the oldest ride needed to be redone due to the fact that the boats could no longer support the amount of people it use to on the boat due to the average weight increasing. The tracks and boats had both been ruined and redone as a result of the weight issue. But the scariest and most eye opening part for me was that some of these people were the same age or younger than I was. I understand 100% someone might have a disease or something but the facts also show that obesity is consuming the nation. It's not healthy and it needs to change today for the future of tomorrow! more

Give Hope: RSD

What is RSD? Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) is a neurological condition that affects the skin, muscles, joints, and bones. It usually develops in an inured limb or after surgery. What are the symptoms? 1. Constant chronic, burning pain (including extreme sensitivity to touch, sound, & vibration) 2. Inflammation 3. Spasms 4. Insomnia/Emotional disturbance. Is there a cure? RSD can go into remission, but it is very unlikely. Current treatments include physical therapy, nerve blocks (injecting anesthetics near nerves for temporary pain control), spinal cord stimulation (exerting pulsed electrical signals to the spinal cord to control pain), and a host of medications (i.e.—antidepressants, corticosteroids, and opioids). These treatments are mostly used in combinations. But there is no true treatment for RSD that guarantees remission or a pain-free life. RSDHope is an organization that provides information and conducts research. more
