Brenda Novak's Auction for the Cure of Diabetes

Brenda Novak's Annual Online Auction for diabetes research will be going live in less than two weeks. They've asked me to share the following statement that includes details about the auction and a chance to win a new iPad just for registering! There are tons of great items up for bids, ranging from signed books to jewelry to meet and greets - even vacations! Be sure to check it out!

 We've gathered 1500 items with more coming in every day--and we're offering a fun incentive to get folks engaged on the bidding side, too. Everyone who registers for the auction--or, if they are already registered, emails us confirming that they've updated their billing and shipping info--will be entered to win a brand new iPad!

The DRI, the research facility that gets the money, will be bringing their new Biohub into human trials by the end of the year and this could be the cure so many people have been hoping/praying for. As the mother of a son with diabetes, I couldn't be more excited. Never has it felt this close. A cure would benefit more than 350 million people worldwide. PLEASE support this effort, if not by registering and bidding or donating, by posting notice of it on your loops and social media (we have banners, flyers, etc. at www.brendanovakforthecure.org).
