National Type 1 Diabetes Awareness Month: 2 steps to finding a cure

This is National Type 1 Diabetes Awareness Month. Please help us find us find a cure by doing the following:

(1) TAKE ACTION NOW: THANK CONGRESS FOR SDP SUPPORT-
Please take a moment today to say ‘Thank You’ to an amazing 336 Representatives and 76 Senators in Congress who signed-on to the SDP support letters recently circulated by Congressional Diabetes Caucus leaders. Once you’ve taken action, which is a simple e-mail to your legislators, please share this with your friends and family and ask them to take action, too. We need a strong response on this alert so thank you in advance for taking action!

(2) THE PROMISE TO REMEMBER ME CAMPAIGN-
The 2013 JDRF Promise to Remember Me campaign is in high gear, and our goal remains to meet with all 536 Members of Congress before they adjourn for the year. These important advocate meetings with Congress occur back in state and local district offices, and in order to meet our goal we need YOUR help! Click on the Promise site link above, take a look at where your Member(s) meetings stand, and please sign-up if a meeting hasn’t already occurred for your Member(s) of Congress! There are not many more ‘recess’ periods left for this session of Congress, so let’s all capitalize on meeting Members while they are home!

JDRF Advocates, we simply cannot do this without you, so in advance: THANK YOU! Saying thank you to Congress, and participating in a Promise meeting: two simple ways to help us renew the SDP this year. Please let our Advocacy Team know if you have any additional questions.
