Meet Reggie Bibbs – I have neurofibromatosis

My name is Reggie Bibbs. I am on a mission to spread the word about neurofibromatosis. I figure the more people who know about my disorder, the more they will understand me, so I made a video. Actually, I’ve made a few videos. They can be seen on my website, blog, YouTube, Veoh and Vimeo as well as photos at my Flickr, Facebook and MySpace account. If you have neurofibromatosis or if you’re wanting to help spread the word, please click on the links above, leave a comment, send an email, add the urls as links to your blogs and sites or send to your friends and fellow NF people. The more we can band together, the stronger our voice will be heard. I thank you for reading this far and I truly hope to hear from you soon!

Make it a TREMENDOUS Day! – Reggie

Please go to www.digg.com and say you “Dig It!”

I just posted the FOX 26 interview about the “Just Ask!” campaign to Digg, an online video news site that is very popular in the blogger world. A video that does well here gets passed around the world very quickly and helps http://www.reggiebibbs.com show up higher in the search engine world. If you could take a moment to go to digg.com and watch the video and click on “Digg It” it would help this site show up higher in Google when you search for neurofibromatosis. Thank you for any help you can give!

Watch the history of the Texas NF Foundation Video!!!

I have a terrific video for all of you!

About 10 years ago, I was asked to help participate in a video detailing the history of the Texas Neurofibromatosis Foundation. Our 15th Anniversary was coming up and Bob Hopkins, the Executive Director at the time, wanted to recognize the people who brought us to where we were while also helping educate the new trustees, volunteers and patients about the history of the foundation and all of the ground-breaking work we helped initiate.

I’ve just watched it for like the 100th time and I’m still learning more stuff!
