Diabetes is one of this nation’s most prevalent, debilitating, deadly and costly diseases and it continues to grow at an alarming rate. In fact, if things don’t change, one in three children - and one in two minority children - born today will face a future with diabetes
Next week the Senate will be voting on an amendment (SA 3453), sponsored by Senators Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO), that would freeze all discretionary funding for the next four years. This may put diabetes funding at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) at risk. The amendment is being offered to legislation that would reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and is completely unrelated to research and prevention.
My name is Tiffany Van-an advocate for diabetes and prevention and I am asking for your support in the funding of diabetes research for the next 4 years and beyond....
We the undersigned, call on the senate to support the funding of diabetes research and to help prevent further complications from this possible debilitating disease.
You can further help this campaign by sponsoring it
