That's easy...advocate for diabetes in BLUE HEELS/SHOES!!
It's the easiest thing to do! I'm sure we've all advocated for diabetes without realizing we even are! In fact, just yesterday, my Evelyn, went shopping at Marshall's to find a cute outfit to wear for her first day of COLLEGE!! Marshall's was in the midst of their sneaker campaign for JDRF. Sneaker campaign? Yes, participating stores sell paper sneakers for a donation and it supports JDRF. At the checkout, Evelyn was asked if she would like to donate a $1 for JDRF. Which she happily replied, "YES, I would! It's for me and my sister. We are both Type 1 diabetics" and the conversation went on from there.
See? Advocating is no big deal! (Well, it IS a big deal but you know what I mean!!)
Now that it's back to school time, how many of us advocated for ourselves or our kids to the nurse and/or the school? ALL of us!! We are well armed and will fight for ourselves or our sugar babies. Advocating at it's finest! Because if we don't, who will?
The Blue Heel Society will continue to advocate, inform, educate and rally for ALL types of diabetics. We welcome you to walk along with us in your most fab pair of blue shoes. And you never know, we may have a few surprises in our heels...stay tuned!
