I have or had that pin, but can't find it. I still have my Donate Life one and for the first time had seen someone else wearing one. Turns out to be that it had been on a person I know at the hospital. She gives me free latte's when I go there for either blood test or pick up results. She use to stick me a lot too.

Free gifts are always nice... There are many great forums out there including Home Dialysis Central, This one of course and Davita's.  Its always nice to see the forum giving back.
I know that if you join NxstageUsers.com/forum They are also or at least were giving out a lapel pin which is very nice looking.   :cheer:
