November is National Diabetes Awareness Month and last Sunday, November 14th, was recognized as World Diabetes Day. A leading sleepwear company, Komar, has launched an initiative called "Pjs for the Cure" with the goal of raising $1 million dollars to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Before I get to the fun pj giveaway, here are some facts you may not know about juvenile diabetes and this great event:
- Each year, more than 15,000 children are diagnosed with juvenile diabetes.
- You cannot "catch" diabetes, nor has juvenile diabetes been linked directly to genetics or lifestyle.
- Insulin does not cure diabetes, it only helps to keep the patient alive.
- 100% of every sale from PJs For The Cure will be donated directly to the JDRF to fund further research to find a cure for juvenile diabetes.
To win a set of women's, girl's, or boy's pj's, , please post one comment for as many of the following as you like. And please tell your friends, too!
- Tell me what you like to do in your jammies!
- "Like" PJ's for a Cure on their Facebook page.
- Join me on twitter at http://twitter.com/BarefootTori
- "Like" PJ's for the Cure on Facebook
I will select a winner at random on November 30th to receive a pair of jammies. Please make sure I have some way to contact you for size, style, shipping address, etc.
Spread the word! And thanks for supporting Juvenile Diabetes!
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Komar and PJs For The Cure and received a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
