Raised Voices.
A quick look around the medical blogosphere has people already raising their voices. Here are a few examples:
- We have the health community over at WeGo Health calling their crew to action.
- Forum members at YoungDiabetics.org are spreading the word.
- Dr. Anonymous has blogged about it and invited me to help spread the word on his BlogTalkRadio show.
- The Mostly Self-Taught Knitter has asked her readers what they'd like to know, and responded in kind.
- There's a Wikibetes entry about Raise Your Voice that we can all contribute to - so add your suggestions and links to your posts!
- Friends at ChildrenWithDiabetes are posting their ideas in the forums.
- The good folks over at Diabetes Self-Management are doing their part to raise awareness.
- Keep in mind, you can always log in and chat with another PWD in the Diabetes Talkfest chatroom.
- And you can use the new TuDiabetes events calendar and RSVP to "attend" the RYV event on Monday!

First of all, I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating this weekend. :)
And second, thanks so much for the shout-out. I'm really excited about Monday (both for my pump and for Awareness Day) and I'll be sure to e-mail you the link to my post.
Have a great weekend!!

I'm raising my voice by posting a blog about T1D Awareness day. Also, letting people know that if they donate towards our walk on May 31st on April 14th - I will add an additional 10% to their donation out of my pocket.

Kerri, I raised my voice at my blog, You probably will not understand it because it is written is Slovak language, but I loved your idea and made the Type 1 awareness day an international thing. I have encouraged our people to raise their voice in our little country. I have also created a special chat room at the most visited chat in Slovakia, I will see how it will work tomorrow ;o)
