Volunteer Spotlight

Yvonne Young, Project POWER Volunteer, Atlanta, Georgia

I lost both of my parents to diabetes and I know that they would have been with me longer had they been better educated about this disease.  By coming on board as a Project POWER volunteer, you have become a part of the solution—of helping to educate people.  I’ve done this for fifteen years now and never regret it.  Thanks for helping to turnaround the terrible toll that diabetes is taking on us.”
