The Friday Five, Sept. 20

Hello T1Nation!

Here is the Friday Five for this week!

ACT NOW
Did you know your voice can help secure $150 million for type 1 #diabetes research? It’s true. And it’s as simple as calling your Congress member! TODAY is the deadline for Congress to sign the Special Diabetes Program support letter so please join us – and share this opportunity to help create a world without #T1D! http://www.jdrfadvocacycall.org/
 
T1D Tuesday
This past week, we met JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes Team Captain Rachel of “Brown Sugar” on the #T1D Tuesday Blog on #T1Nation. She shared her team’s secret to success.  Stayed tuned for another interview with a Walk Team Captain this coming Tuesday!

Team T1Nation
This is a friendly reminder that you can start your own Team T1Nation in your area! It’s easy to form a team and there’s no limit to how many people can join. We want to hear all about YOUR Walk team! Share your thoughts or ideas in the comment section on the Walk To Cure Diabetes blog on TypeOneNation

Peace Corps
Has anyone been in the Peace Corps with T1D? A member is looking to find out more information on what it was like.

Video of the week
JDRF shares their vision of changing type one into type none in this inspiring video featuring the Walk to Cure Diabetes. Please share your thoughts in the comments section below the video, and be sure to share it with your friends too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GatM0ZcpsMA

 

Happy Friday!
