Just a little PSA for the Diabetes Hope Conference:
(I respectfully borrowed this image from the DHF site.)
I’ve felt that hope is a better motivational force than fear for a long time, and have written about it (and created videos around it) quite a bit. You might call me a “hope groupie.” (I’ve been called worse.)
Which is why I’m looking forward to the second annual Diabetes Hope Conference, which is taking place online via webinar, and for free, on Tuesday, May 20th at high noon eastern time. You can register by clicking here, and I’m hoping you’ll join the discussions because I’m really happy to see hope as something highlighted for people with diabetes.
From Scott Johnson (the advocacy force behind this digital hope effort): “I work hard to make the Diabetes Hope Conference happen because hope can do amazing things when you’re in the middle of a seemingly impossible situation. Maybe someone out there needs that ray of light that you (or you, or you) can provide. We need to pull those conversations out of the closet, and I think the Diabetes Hope Conference can help do that.”

Kerri,
Thanks for the PSA. We’re so excited that you’re participating again. I echo Scott’s thoughts — without hope, what is there really?
To be a part of producing a conference that creates (or tries to anyway) hope is the highlight of our year and we’re just so glad that you, dLife and TuDiabetes folks have all agreed to be a part of it again this year.
Cheers,
Tom
Thank you, Kerri. I’m so happy to have you involved, and I really appreciate you helping to spread the word.
The community has continued to respond so positively to this effort and support me in so many ways that I can’t help but be excited about it. 🙂
See you (and you, and you) on Tuesday!
