Calling All Sisters!
Inspired by the Fall 2007 Sisterhood of Diabetes issue of DESA’s The Challenge, which I created and edited, I am now working on expanding the stories and singing the praises of the many fantastic and sensational women who integrate sports and exercise into their lives with diabetes. If you would like to be part of this spirited adventure book, please contact me: Judith Jones Ambrosini, jonesmagee@optonline.net. I would also love to hear from any of you gals who are past winners of the LifeScan Athletic Achievement Award.
