san091667.jpgMark Sanchez, quarterback for the New York Jets, is helping the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) try to win $100,000 in grants as part of the Pepsi Refresh Project, an online campaign to fund programs that will have a positive impact on people’s lives. 

Please HELP all the children affected by Juvenile Diabetes by clicking on http://www.nfl.com/pepsirefresh and VOTE for Mark Sanchez, or text ‘MARK’ to PEPSI (73774). Vote as often as possible–every vote helps! Voting ends at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, February 5, 2010.

Symptoms for type 1 or juvenile diabetes can be mistaken for common illnesses, such as the flu, and if left untreated, even over a very short timeframe, can be deadly.

jdrf-logo.jpgType 1 diabetes is generally diagnosed in children, teenagers, or young adults; it is a devastating disease that affects millions of people, a large and growing percentage of them children. One of those children is my friend’s daughter who was diagnosed with type 1 (juvenile) diabetes just three months after her 4th birthday. She will be insulin-dependent for the rest of her life or until a cure is found.
