The goal of the Resolution Torch is to evolve diabetes knowledge, attitudes and behaviours around the globe. Another component of this will be ongoing action in relation to specific, targeted World Diabetes Day activities. I very much wanted to start off my first UN-observed World Diabetes Day with a symbolic run. My idea was to do a seven kilometer run to symbolize the seven continents of the world - the planned route for the Blue Circle Torch. I was able to meet this goal and completed a special run on the morning of the first UN-observed World Diabetes Day through New York. I am hoping to repeat this kind of symbolic run each year on World Diabetes Day, wherever I happen to be.
I will continue ongoing correspondence with local, national and international Government Officials, organizations, businesses and groups to continue advocacy for the United Nations Resolution on Diabetes and the Resolution Torch of Diabetes Advocacy around the globe.
The United Nations represents hope and possibility for our world
The United Nations Resolution on Diabetes represents hope and possibility for diabetes
The Resolution Torch is a living time capsule to capture & continue that hope, possibility & action
