Cara And The Diabetes Dude

Cara along with my help has became one of the Canadian Ambassadors for the Diabetes Dude.  Check out her page HERE .We are very excited to join such a wondderful group of people all trying to make a difference in type 1 diabetes awareness and education.  

What's that you ask?

Noah, The Diabetes Dude, has been helping to raise awareness and show support all over the country in the past year, but he's also realized he can't be everywhere at once, so, he's currently accepting applications until Jan 15th 2011 for his new Ambassador Program. He's looking for kids to represent their state by helping him in 2011 to spread even more awareness in their own area.  They will be listed as an Ambassador under the "friends of DD" page and will have their own email address through www.thediabetesdude.com.  You must be willing to fulfill an entire year of service as an Ambassador, which will include answering emails promptly from people in your area, keeping The Diabetes Dude up to date on things going on in your area regarding diabetes, coming up with new ideas to spread awareness in your area, and spreading awareness of diabetes by representing The Diabetes Dude's mission of "I may have diabetes, but diabetes does not have me".  Other fulfillments MAY include meeting with kids with diabetes in your area, hosting get togethers, and possibly answering media inquiries from your local area.

Cara is not the only ambassador trying to lend a hand.  Here is the list of amazing kids who have vowed to help the Diabetes Dude in 2011.


Also if your a fan of the Diabetes Dude make sure you take a few minutes and VOTE FOR HIM HERE  at  The dlife Annual Top 10 Award.

What is that you ask?
The dlife has featured "10 brave, innovative, gutsy individuals who have worked hard to improve the lives of people with diabetes" and the Diabetes Dude is one of them.  So take a few minutes out of your day and vote vote vote.  The person with the most votes will be featured on dlifeTV.
