Learning About Diabetes is an organization that Paul Tracey has developed. He needs help with his web site. Would you be interested in helping him?
A little background: he's trying to get information out to people who may have a hard time understanding how to take care of themselves if they have diabetes. They may be really young, really poor, they may not speak English–or they may be just like you and me.
One day Paul saw a picture by Seymour Chwast and thought: "That art is colorful and arresting! It might work for my project; and it would probably give the poor guy some good exposure for his work, too." So he arranged a meeting with Seymour, and it was obvious to Seymour after a few minutes that Paul had no idea who he was talking to. Seymour got a big kick out of this. He must have liked the idea, too, because he subsequently has donated hundreds of pieces of artwork for free.
To see what I mean, go here. Paul wants to make things easier to find on the site, and he has a clear outline for you to go by if you're interested in helping him and Seymour.

Well, heck! I've been a Type 1 diabetic since I was diagnosed at age 13 in 1977. I'll help!
Wow. And you have a beautiful web site, too. (Hey, everybody. Take a look):

Can I have Paul contact you?? This is too good.
I already shot him an email. : )
Lisa, I'm stunned!
Will you send a photo of you in front of whatever you're working on at the moment? Your cats can be in it too. And your Kindle. Unless you don't feel like it, of course.
omg, this is so inspiring. Seymour is the greatest. Don't you love the illustrations he does for AARP?! I'm going to forward this to Tommy McC, whose son has diabetes.... He's worked a lot to raise money.
