Have a wonderful weekend!

ADW has proudly accepted an invitation to attend the JDRF’s awards and appreciation dinner next Tuesday, June 17, 2008.  This is event is held for all of the amazing supporters, sponsors, and walkers who gave up their time and money to the hope for a cure of diabetes.

 American Diabetes Wholesale is proud to work with the JDRF and support them in everything that they do.  The walk was a huge success and I can guarantee that the awards dinner will be the same.

This past Saturday, March 29, 2008, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation held their annual walk in Boca Raton, FL in Mizner Park. There were approximately 3,000 people who showed up. The amount of awareness and money raised for such a great organization is amazing and exciting. American Diabetes Wholesale is proud to support the JDRF in ways such as this. It is now time for JDRF to start planning and organizing the next walk.

The weather had been forecasted to be rainy and thunderstorms, but it could not have turned out to be any more perfect of a day. The sun was out with a few clouds, and a nice little breeze every now and again. The two mile walk turned out to be successful. Approximately 8-10 ADW team members walked with family and friends.

The performances by local high school cheerleaders, bands, and singers were all outstanding. It created a great environment for a great cause.

Below are a few pictures included from the walk of members of the ADW team.

On March 25, 2008 on American Diabetes Alert day, American Diabetes Wholesale attended the health seminar at the Specialty Care Center in Fort Lauderdale, FL.  There were about 100 patients who had showed up for a free blood glucose and also blood pressure readings.  There was excellent lectures on diet, excercise, feet, eyes, stress, anything and everything that someone with diabetes would need to know about and how to manage.

It was a great turn out and another reason why ADW is here, and that is to help those without the resources for their everyday supplies.  Majority could not afford anything at all let alone paying the high cost for their supplies.  We have committed ourselves to keeping diabetes management affordable, and will continue to be there for those patients as a resource for them.

 Upcoming event for American Diabetes Wholesale will be this Saturday, March 29, 2008 at Mizner Park in Boca Raton, FL for the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes.
