Help! Please...

I have added a special click-on to my main page on WordPress.com.  If you click on it (it takes literally a matter of 10 seconds to complete) the advertising company will contribute  money toward the American Diabetes Association.  This is such a great cause I believe it is worthy of the click!

Why?  Because diabetes is a huge contributing factor to many health related illnesses the National Institutes of Health had this to say:

“Diabetes afflicts nearly 21 million people in the United States, but its burden is disproportionately felt by minorities, including African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders. About 13 percent of African Americans age 20 and older suffer from diabetes, a rate that is nearly twice that of non-Hispanic whites.”

 

Diabetes can affect the heart, the liver, the pancreas;  every system in the body works off of the other so it is important to control diseases that affect all of them.

 

I am asking for your support in this cause…it doesn’t cost you anything except about 10 seconds…is someones life worth that to you?

til later,

from the mind of…
