The Global Diabetes Handprint is designed to bring people touched by diabetes together— to communicate and share what diabetes means to them.
Inspired by the Word in Your Hand Project found on TuDiabetes.com®, the idea is for you to write the one word in the palm of your hand that best describes what diabetes means to you and share it with us.
It’s a way you can raise awareness of a disease that is all too often about statistics, and too seldom about the heart and minds of the thousands of people it touches.
Your hand will be added to a community mosaic comprised of people representing every age, gender, and race from every part of the globe.
Further, for every hand received, a $5 donation will be made to one of three diabetes charities — Diabetes Education and Camping Association, Taking Control of Your Diabetes or Diabetes Hands Foundation. The choice is yours.
