支持ing Local Heart and Blood Related Charities in February

Valentine's Day and the month of February have long been associated with hearts and the color red, so it's only natural that charities are shining a spotlight on this vital organ that pumps life-saving blood through our bodies. 事实上, cardiovascular disease along with various forms of cancer are the leading causes of death both globally and locally. 值得庆幸的是, there are many ways we can support life-saving research and treatments for heart and blood-related charities here in our region.

用JDRF帮助战胜糖尿病

的 青少年糖尿病研究基金会 is committed to helping people suffering from T1D (Type 1 Diabetes) along with more research about this often debilitating disease that attacks red blood cells. Even though the title of this organization starts with the word junior, T1D在年龄方面没有歧视, 性别, 或种族. 尽管T1D通常出现在青春期, it will still attack people at any time during their life and often has nothing to do with lifestyle choices, 环境, 或者其他可控的情况.

While various treatments and medications are available for this disorder, there's still no known cure for any type of diabetes and JDRF is looking at changing that fact. 得到更多的捐款, 志愿者帮助, 教育和提高意识, 和持续的宣传, this foundation is striving to stamp out this condition once and for all. 说到提高意识，这里有一些 太阳城tyc网址糖尿病的快讯 一般来说:

• 从技术上讲, diabetes is a condition where the pancreas suddenly (or slowing) stops producing insulin leading to low blood sugar
