It is hard to believe that the third UN-Observed World Diabetes Day is only days away. This year, we will be building upon the United Nations connection to the UN Resolution on Diabetes by taking the Resolution Torch that was started at the UN Headquarters on the first UN-observed World Diabetes Day to the Joggins UNESCO World Heritage Site. While there we will complete a symbolic World Diabetes Day Walk, and will receive from the Joggins UNESCO World Heritage Site a World Diabetes Day Proclamation and artifacts for the Resolution Torch living time capsule. We will also be trying to find a way to illuminate the Joggings UNESCO World Heritage site (or part of it at least) in blue. The kids and I have decorated some shorts with the symbolic blue circles and we have received some special blue circle hula hoops and pins that we will be placing to be passed on at the Joggins UNESCO World Heritage site. We will keep you posted on our World Diabetes Day adventures.
