Brenda’s son is diabetic and for five years she has worked tirelessly to raise money for a cure. She’s done an amazing job! Each year she has an online auction with proceeds going to diabetes research. The auction offers a host of things such as vacation packages, books, online classes… really, just about everything you could imagine. There is something for everyone. This year, she raised a whopping $270,611! In five years of fundraising, she has raised $762,298. That figure just amazes me. Never underestimate what you can do! Congrats to Brenda for her amazing effort! Image: sxc.hu. Share and Enjoy: Post from: Blisstree Brenda Novak ...

She’s a very successful author and diabetes advocate, who each year raises thousands of dollars for diabetes research. In just a few short years she has managed to raise a half a million dollars! She’s truly an inspiration. Novak’s son is diabetic, and she has created an online auction that is easy to maneuver and use. I’ve poked around this site myself, and she has some fabulous prizes. She even has a few “one of a kind” experiences. There is truly something for everyone. The auction ends at the end of this month, so I encourage everyone so log on and find something fabulous for themselves! You’ll get something fabulous for yourself and help to find a cure for diabetes in the process. Image: Brenda Novak Share a...

It was hard enough getting it then. I can’t imagine getting it as a child. The shots, food restrictions, and constant monitoring is a difficult thing for children and their families. That’s why research and funding is needed until there is a cure. To that end, I have another great interview in the Putting a Face on Diabetes series. I’m always amazed at people that get involved. It doesn’t matter how they are involved, to me doing something is so much better than feeling helpless or complaining. To that end, I came across an online diabetes fundraiser a few years ago that was put on by Brenda Novak, an author whose son has diabetes. I was so impressed by her efforts (and wait until ...
