November 1 – T1Day
JDRF is kicking off the first annual T1Day on 11.1.11. We’re asking all members of the type 1 diabetes community to help us make this day a huge success by raising awareness about type 1 diabetes on this day and throughout the month of November. Some of the activities we have planned are:
- Major announcement from JDRF, which better emphasizes our focus on type 1 diabetes
- Team JDRF events and fundraising pages in honor of T1Day
- Urging advocates to sign a petition to the FDA asking them to issue guidance for artificial pancreas technology advances to better treat and potentially cure type 1 diabetes
- Facebook and Twitter activities involving the community to raise awareness of type 1 diabetes throughout the day
- Visible presence on a number of national media outlets announcing T1Day
- And much more throughout the month of November!
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter, and check back here frequently for updates on how you can help!
