| <p>You can help make diabetes a national priority. The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation | |
| International (JDF) is spearheading a national campaign to procure a Diabetes Awareness | |
| U.S. Postage Stamp. </p> | |
| <p> Diabetes is a disease that is poorly understood by the public. | |
| Relatively few people are aware of the prevalence, seriousness, and costliness of this | |
| devastating disease. And, research toward the prevention and cure of diabetes and its | |
| complications is vastly underfunded. </p> | |
| <p> A Diabetes Awareness Stamp would help highlight the | |
| significance of diabetes, create curiosity about the warning signs, and therefore, likely | |
| lead to earlier and increased diagnosis. Because such a stamp would symbolize that | |
| diabetes is a disease demanding attention, it would assist in fundraising efforts. It | |
| would aid in our government relations endeavors as well, indicating to our legislators | |
| that health-care issues and diabetes research merit their vote of support. </p> | |
| <p> The U.S. Postal Service receives more than 40,000 letters | |
| recommending stamp subjects and designs each year. Only 30 new stamps are issued annually. | |
| Public interest has a favorable impact on the selections of the Citizens’ Stamp | |
| Advisory Committee. Because diabetes affects 16 million Americans, a collective effort | |
| could make this the most requested stamp in the history of the postal service. </p> | |
| <p> You can help by sending a postcard, letter, or petition urging | |
| the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee to issue a Diabetes Awareness Postage Stamp | |
| (see <a href="stampletter.html">Sample Letter</a>). Please include your own personal | |
| story about diabetes, and send your request with your signature and address to <dl> | |
