NICK’S DOG TAGS: I designed this Dog Tag for anyone who wants to show their support for diabetes. If you are a person with diabetes we will make yours with a medical alert; that’s the one I wear. For people who know or love someone who has diabetes and want to join the cause we will send you one without the medical alert. We’re launching them with the kickoff of National Diabetes Month in November and they’re only available through nickssimplewins.com. Half of the proceeds of each sale will be donated by Bayer to the Jonas Brothers’ Change for the Children Foundation*. Help me make a difference!

Go get more information on how you an purchase one at the site, which I already did this morning! Make a difference in many people’s lives who deal with Type 1 or even Type 2 diabetes.
Also, CONGRATULATIONS to Grand Prize winners: Deborah Bullock, from Cumming, GA; Zachary Jensen, from Orange, CA; Vincent Pettinato, from Jamison, PA; Bryan Zielinski, from Muskego, WI, for The W.I.N.S. sweepstakes contest.

The mission of the Deanna Favre HOPE Foundation is to provide assistance to women who are underserved or underinsured in their battle against breast cancer. Following a breast cancer diagnosis at the age of 35, just one week after the loss of her brother, Deanna was forced to confront her own challenges. She resolved to triumph over this disease through HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE, as inscribed on a bracelet she wears. As the rock behind her husband, Green Bay Quarterback Brett Favre, Deanna has balanced the needs of her family with her commitment to charitable causes.

“Bayer Diabetes Care Names ‘Walk In Nick’s Shoes’
(W.I.N.S.) Sweepstakes Grand Prize Winners” – Market Watch – Read More

Last update: 9:40 a.m. EDT Oct. 30, 2008
TARRYTOWN, N.Y., Oct 30, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Four Lucky People with Diabetes Will Meet Nick Jonas in Los Angeles and Become Part of “Team Jonas” at Diabetes Fundraiser
To kick off Diabetes Awareness Month, Bayer Diabetes Care announced that four people with diabetes have won the opportunity to meet teen pop sensation Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers after entering the national “Walk In Nick’s Shoes” (W.I.N.S.) sweepstakes. These Grand Prize winners will meet Nick Jonas in Los Angeles and walk as “Team Jonas” at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Walk for the Cure in Los Angeles on November 1.
The W.I.N.S. sweepstakes is offered as part of the partnership between Bayer and Nick Jonas to provide young people and their families with the motivation and support they need to help simplify life with diabetes.
The Grand Prize winners include, Deborah Bullock, from Cumming, GA; Zachary Jensen, from Orange, CA; Vincent Pettinato, from Jamison, PA; Bryan Zielinski, from Muskego, WI.
Bayer is sending the four Grand Prize winners and their guests to Los Angeles, CA, where they will have breakfast with Nick and watch as he kicks off the opening ceremony at the JDRF Walk for the Cure event. The Grand Prize winners will also receive personal diabetes coaching support, through Bayer’s partnership with Fit4D, an innovative service that provides personalized diabetes coaching with a team that includes Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs), nurses, exercise physiologists, registered dietitians and personal trainers, who integrate motivational support with fitness and nutrition planning. Additionally, ten First Prize winners will receive a pair of sneakers autographed by Nick Jonas and 100 second prize winners will receive a special Nick’s Simple Wins t-shirt.
“I’m looking forward to meeting the sweepstakes winners as they join other young people and their families to raise awareness and funds for juvenile diabetes,” said Nick Jonas. “By sharing our stories with each other, I hope that we can find more ways to inspire and motivate others to manage their diabetes.”
Nick understands that so many of the approximately 150,000 young adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in the U.S. may feel embarrassed about their condition, and he is striving to change that perception by sharing his own story. Nick, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 13, wants to inspire other young people with diabetes to achieve Simple Wins: small, everyday victories for managing the disease that can lead to big differences over time. For Nick and his demanding schedule, that means using the CONTOUR(R) blood glucose meter with new testing features that allow him to personalize it to match his lifestyle.
To learn more about Nick’s personal experience with diabetes and to read his blog about his latest activities, young people and their families can log on to www.NicksSimpleWins.com.

…The guys have since released new music and plan to release more next year. They also continue to tour, all with Richardson’s blessing. And despite how weird it still is to not have him around, they have no plans to slow down anytime soon. “We’re the happiest we’ve ever been. We’re all united,” McLean said, and Carter added that this is going to be the beginning of a new era — a fresh start for the guys.

And pop music today is as hot as it was nearly a decade ago, thanks to acts like the Jonas Brothers, and the Backstreet Boys are passing the boy-band torch to their former tourmates. “They opened for us on the ‘Never Gone Tour.’ They’re a talented bunch of kids. They’re growing up fast,” Littrell added. “I don’t feel reluctant to give them advice. I’ll never forget: We were doing a show in Florida with the Temptations, and one of those guys stood up and said, ‘This is show business, and as you’re doing your show, your business could be running out on you.’ I’ll never forget that.”
