How does it feel knowing what a difference you made for the many Faces of Diabetes in 2012?
I bet it feels something like this...
Your support helped us reach our $1 million end of year fundraising goal. And thanks to your generosity, the American Diabetes Association accomplished more than
we ever thought possible for the many Faces of Diabetes in 2012. Here are just a few of the amazing achievements made possible with your help:
In Georgia, Washington and Florida, bills have been signed into law to make sure schools are safe for children with diabetes;
We began research on how to manage diabetes during pregnancy to prevent the future onset of diabetes in children;
Started insulin gene therapy research for type 1 diabetes;
Fought for new protections under the Affordable Care Act, including access to free preventative care and prohibiting discrimination against children and teens because of diabetes;
More than 60,000 people attended our free American Diabetes Association EXPO® events to receive life-saving diabetes and health information and advice.
Thank you for everything you've helped us accomplish in 2012. And for the many millions of people you're going to help this year.
Happy New Year,
Larry Hausner
