Pucker Up 4 PH

Recently our family was able to participate in a global campaign to boost awareness for Pulmonary Hypertension, called "Pucker Up 4 PH". Blue lips are a symptom experienced by some patients with PH as a result of low levels of oxygen in their blood. Many people with PH don't exhibit any outward signs of the disease, so the Blue kiss Logo was developed in 2007 to try and help improve awareness of the condition. So, we each painted our lips blue and then puckered up for the camera. Our pictures were submitted to www.puckerup4ph.com--check it out and see if you can find us! You can also submit your own "Pucker Up" picture to show your support. What a fun way to raise awareness for PH!
