I just got the word about this from the JDRF folks in the UK:

This year in the run-up to World Diabetes Day (14th November), leading type 1 diabetes charity JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) in the UK is urging anyone affected by type 1 to get involved with the host of activities they've got planned to mark the occasion.

To see how you can get involved, visit www.JDRFaware.com - here you'll find how to:

* Leave a message for Gordon - JDRF is collecting messages for Gordon Brown to ask for increased Government type 1 research funding. Leave your message and JDRF will deliver these messages to Downing Street in a rather memorable way.

Launching soon (start of November), you’ll also be able to:

* Go Blue for World Diabetes Day - find the tools to turn your Facebook and MySpace profiles blue in support of World Diabetes Day (14th November 2009)

* The World's Longest Viral - get involved with an ongoing viral animation that anyone can add to, to highlight the life long nature of type 1 diabetes

* Big Blue Fundraising Ideas - download JDRF's free fundraising kit and support the search for the cure on World Diabetes Day
