The start of November marks the start of #DiabetesAwarenessMonth This year my 11 year old daughter, Jessica, is running 366km throughout the year to raise money and #spillthediabetea for Diabetes Canada in support of a good friend who was recently diagnosed as type 1 diabetic. She is hosting a special run on World Diabetes Day, November 14 and is encouraging people to take the time that day to get out and move their bodies, drop some $$ into her fundraiser and take a moment to think about the 4 million people in Canada living with Diabetes and the new people that are diagnosed with diabetes every 3 minutes right here in Canada. #showyourglow #LaceUpForDiabetes #TogetherWeCan McElhanney https://lnkd.in/gHM2EtM7
