Among many others, the Diabetes Research Institute is focused on finding a cure for diabetes. A fun way that YOU can help their campaign is by donating to “Be Part of the Cure”. Not only will you be donating to help find a cure, but with just a $10 donation, you can upload your picture to go on the C-U-R-E banner, which is just pretty cool. You can even search the photos to find yourself or anyone else you might know! If you donate a minimum of $50, you get a mousepad with the CURE mosaic on it. In addition, the first $25,000 will be matched by Animas and Lifescan, so there’s another reason to donate!
If you haven’t done so already, be sure to check out the video at BigBlueTest.org, developed by the Diabetes Hands Foundation. If they reach 100,000 views, Roche Diabetes Care will donate $75,000 which will benefit Life For a Child and Insulin for Life. What that boils down to is that every view of the video will translate to a weeks worth of insulin for a child who can’t afford it.
AND!
On November 14, Diabetes Awareness Day, be sure to do the Big Blue Test! Help raise awareness about how important testing and exercise are for all diabetics. Here’s what you need to do:
