Introduction:
November 14th is World Diabetes Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness and supporting those affected by diabetes. Lizzie and her Linebackers are passionate about supporting the Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) community and empowering individuals and families to share their journeys. This year, we invite you to stand in solidarity with the Diabetes community by wearing one of our “I wear blue” shirts, designed for anyone living with Diabetes or those who love and support them. Let’s make a powerful statement together!
The Importance of World Diabetes Day
World Diabetes Day was created to bring attention to the urgent need for greater awareness, research, and support for those living with diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease that affects millions worldwide, with countless individuals and families dealing with its daily challenges. This annual day is a reminder to celebrate the resilience of those with T1D and to unite as a community that advocates for better resources, improved treatments, and ultimately, a cure.
Why “I Wear Blue”?
Our “I wear blue” shirts are more than just comfortable apparel; they’re a symbol of unity and love for the Diabetes community. Whether you wear blue for yourself, a family member, a friend, or anyone you support in their journey, these shirts make a powerful visual statement. Each shirt can be customized to say “I wear blue for [someone special],” whether it’s for “me,” a loved one, or simply to show solidarity with the Diabetes community.
