As many of you know, I play an active role with the Diabetes Exercise & Sports Association (DESA), serving as coordinator of the Philadelphia area chapter, editor of The Challenge magazine, and vice-chair of the Board of Directors. Today I am on a mission. Economic times have been very hard on our organization. Even though DESA is poised to celebrate its 25th anniversary, we are in critical need of support.
My goal is to secure donations of $25 or more from 1000 individuals before the end of the year. You can make your donation to the I RUN ON INSULIN Campaign today at
https://secure.my-websites.org/supporter/donatenow.do?n=FX@5Cs&dfdbid=1110825 (if you do, please enter BRD004 in the “tracking code” area).
Why support DESA? Simple. We enhance the quality of life for people with diabetes through exercise and physical fitness. Our message, “Be Active! Be Fit! Be Healthy!” speaks directly to the heart of the matter…physical activity is important to everyone’s health, particularly those like me who struggle with diabetes on a daily basis.
My personal involvement with DESA began in 1989 when I attended my first DESA (then called “IDAA”) conference. I continue to be impressed with the way DESA educates, inspires and motivates people to bring out their “inner athlete”. Since then, I have met thousands of extraordinary people ranging from world class and Olympic level athletes to dedicated health professionals, youth, and people who just want to start exercising to improve their health. We are here to serve people with diabetes who are or want to become physically active. There are many challenges faced by people with diabetes as they participate in sports/exercise, and we supply the answers.
Please help us by making a donation today to the I RUN ON INSULIN Campaign:
