An up-to-date list of the buildings that have thus far agreed or declined to join the celebrations can be found on the World Diabetes Day website. <BR/><BR/>We need your help in adding monuments to the list. Let us know the monuments you are pursuing and those that have declined.<BR/><BR/>http://www.worlddiabetesday.org/bluemonuments<BR/><BR/>If this site is down now, check it again on Friday (my apologies).<BR/><BR/>Kind regards,<BR/>Stephanie Tanner<BR/>stephanie.tanner@idf.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523416326400575666.post-69155109227300503192007-09-18T07:15:00.000-07:002007-09-18T07:15:00.000-07:00Congratulations to you and your youth football tea...Congratulations to you and your youth football team, and I am utterly impressed by your triatholon experience. You do keep busy, don't you? Well, keep up the good work!<BR/><BR/>But mostly, I wanted to say thanks for adding a WDD banner to your site. You beat me to the punch. IDF could not be more appreciative. If you want any more information, feel free to email me at stephanie.tanner@idf.org.<BR/><BR/>Tremendous thanks for your support,<BR/>Stephanie Tanner<BR/>IDF - Communications AssistantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523416326400575666.post-55334389814026164562007-09-18T05:08:00.000-07:002007-09-18T05:08:00.000-07:00Congrats!

You are an inspiration and proof positive that diabetes, while it changes your life, doesn't have to mean you stop going and stop following your dreams.amyliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13476420072784830899noreply@blogger.com
