November

November is American Diabetes Month. At the request of our group member, Penny, Moms for a Cause will dedicate November to raise awareness for diabetes. Thanks Penny! I myself have Type 2 Disbetes and I am still learning.

I am looking for sites and blogs that will help educate, as well as offer links to products for sale. As I build the list, I will post them here.

Group Project:

Do you or a family member have / had diabetes? Share your story this month on your blog and then share with Twitter Moms by coming back here and posting the link. If you don't have or no one in your family has diabetes, you can still help raise awareness. Go to http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp and read the statistics on Dibetes. Your write-up can be informational, helping others to see there is still so much more that can be done to Kiss Diabetes Goodbye!

Here is our November Discussion for Diabetes link. This is for discussion, support, and more! Please add your post links here as well as email to me. Thanks!

Comment by amy krause on October 30, 2009 at 3:43pm: When Nanci Hersh was diagnosed with cancer, one of her first thoughts was, “How do I tell my boys?” Hearing her concern, Nanci’s cousin Ellen McVicker gave her the words she needed to help her explain the unexplainable: mommy has cancer.

Two years later, the cousins decided to help other parents/adults by turning Ellen’s simple yet honest words and Nanci’s exquisite illustrations into “Butterfly Kisses and Wishes on Wings – When someone you love has cancer … a hopeful, helpful book for kids.”

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, StyleSubstanceSoulu.com is giving away an autographed copy of the book.

As its name suggests, StyleSubstanceSoul.com is a unique website whose mission is to inspire women to live a life of passion, compassion and action by empowering them with heady ideas, practical resources and a fiery community ignited by female energy.

Comment by Angela Lynn Borho on March 16, 2009 at 5:15pm: I am a young mother of 3 who was diagnosed last year at 36 with breast cancer. I am on a mission to give young ladies in my position, the information they need as I didn't get at the time and am now paying for it. I have been doing so much research I would love to share.

Comment by Kojii Helnwein on February 17, 2009 at 4:52pm: Hi Mama's!

As an after thought, amidst all the preparation for the Fundraiser I just became involved in (happening on Friday, Feb 20th) it occurred to me that it would be a nice idea to offer Gift Bags at the door to the first 100? people.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to companies, people, organizations who might like to sponsor this part of the event?

any ideas are greatly appreciated!

much love

Kojii
