A CHANCE TO DO YOUR PART (392 hits)

I do not have to tell you that diabetes can be a debilitating disease. It can lead to kidney disease, loss of a limb or even blindness. November is the American Diabetes Month and you can do your part. Visit www.diabetes.org/kiss where you can give a monetary donation that will be matched dollar for dollar up to 100,000 by the V8 brand, or sign the petition that will be sent to President elect Obama. Learn other ways that you can help make a difference to help kiss diabetes good-bye. Again that website is http://www.diabetes.org/kiss.
