Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Advocacy


A few days ago I became a proud member of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's (JDRF) Advocacy program. Today, I sent out 100 e-mails to friends and family members asking them to join me in advocating to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. It is probably one of the most simple things anybody can do to show support. You don't have to be an active advocate. Your single voice speaks volumes, and perhaps, down the road, those that join now as in-active advocates will become some of the most active advocates.

This is just the beginning for me. I hope to connect with our local JDRF group, partake in walks, runs, rides, and the like to support finding a cure! Where is your local branch? Do you know? It's easy to find out, GO HERE, and then you can be directed to local events that support finding a cure. Please don't hesitate! It's free, unobtrusive, and may bring new life to those that have lived and who are living a wonderful life as best they can despite this horrible disease.

You want medical reform! Finding a cure, living healthier, happier lives, and supporting those who are battling diseases is the best kind of reform we can advocate for! Thanks for understanding, reading, and supporting in your own special way :)
