Diabetes Research Institute’s Be Part of the Cure

Posted by Chris on Nov 1, 2010 in Diabetes Awareness, Diabetes Research Institute | 0 comments

Today is November 1, so that means a lot of different things. First, it is my birthday today. I don’t do much to celebrate my birthday because I don’t see the point of it. Today is also my nieces birthday as well. She is 11 now and I can remember the day she was born, so that kinda freaks me out that she is already 11. Finally, today starts a full month of Diabetes awareness and projects and advocacy and as much other stuff as you can possible think of.

There are too many projects going on to get into details about every single one of them in one post, so I will start out with just one today and get through as many of them as possible.

Today is the start of the Diabetes Research Institute’s Be Part of the Cure campaign. This campaign runs from today to December 31, 2010. Basically what this campaign is all about is with a minimum donation of $10.00, you can upload your photo and submit your story about diabetes and your image will appear in a collage of images from others spelling out the word “CURE”.

With a donation of $50 you will be able to receive a mousepad with the CURE final image on it. With any donation that you make you will also be entered into a raffle to win two tickets to a concert in your area of your choose. This campaign needs all of our help to go social and spread across to as many people as possible.

Now, why am I blogging this and why do I think this is important? Easy. The DRI does so much for diabetes advancements that they need all the help that they can get. I have been lucky enough to visit and tour their facilities in south Florida and it is one of the most amazing places I have ever been to. The DRI is always on the front end of new diabetes developments and research.
