Randy Jackson Teams Up With The Heart Of Diabetes Program
Do you watch American Idol? Come on… admit it, you do. I know you secretly enjoy Simon Cowell’s rudeness, Paula Abdul’s craziness and Randy Jackson’s “dawgpound”. And did you know that Randy Jackson is a type 2 diabetic? I actually didn’t until I ran past an email this morning. Mr. Jackson has paired up with the American Heart Association and Takeda Pharmacueticals North America for a program called The Heart of Diabetes.
With the launch this week of its own Web site, the initiative is designed to encourage people to pay attention to possible diabetes symptoms so that if they do have the disease, they can begin treating and managing it early, significantly reducing their risk for cardiovascular disease.
The Heart of Diabetes program offers Randy Jackson’s story as well as an area to tell your story. And there is a prize…
Three people with type 2 diabetes who submit their stories to the site and whose experiences with the disease are inspiring to others will be asked to appear in a public service announcement with Jackson to publicize the importance of diagnosing and treating the disease. Oct. 21 is the deadline to enter stories on the Web site.
Let me know if you enter and good luck! Have a great weekend everyone!!!
