Diabetes doesn’t stop. It is 24/7, 365 days a year. To showcase the extraordinary effort it takes to live a day with the disease, the American Diabetes Association, since Oct. 1, 2012, has uploaded thousands of photos to the Association’s Facebook mosaic to create a bigger picture of what the disease means to people affected by diabetes, creating and capturing “A Day in the Life of Diabetes.”
The Association will continue to ask people to submit a personal image to the Association’s Facebook mosaic representing what A Day in the Life of Diabetes means to them. To make the mosaic more impactful this year, Ryan Reed will showcase the mosaic on the No. 16 Drive to Stop Diabetes℠ (D2SD) Roush Fenway Racing Ford Mustang.
The NASCAR Nationwide Series car will be wrapped with photos from the mosaic, and will be featured at Phoenix International Raceway November 9th, 2013 during American Diabetes Month. The Drive to Stop Diabetes℠ cars will feature 18,000 photos, including a race simulator that will be onsite at PIR.
As part of the effort, Reed and the Drive to Stop Diabetes℠ team will be supporting the A Day in the Life of Diabetes at Bristol Motor Speedway, Richmond International Raceway, Charlotte Motor Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway NASCAR Nationwide Series race events. The Roush Fenway Racing No. 16 Ford Mustang will feature a Drive to Stop Diabetes℠ paint scheme at Bristol, Richmond and Charlotte Motor Speedway before the mosaic is unveiled in Phoenix November 9th.
“I’m very excited about being back racing the No. 16 Roush Fenway Racing Ford Mustang this week at Bristol,” Ryan Reed said. “It’s been a few months since Richmond but I know we will pick up right where we left off and be a top 10 team all weekend. I’m definitely going to use up all the practice I can get, Bristol is no joke! I look forward to supporting the American Diabetes Association’s A Day in the Life of Diabetes mosaic. I encourage everyone to upload their picture, about their day in the life of diabetes, on the Association’s Facebook page for a chance to be on the Ford Mustang in Phoenix.”
The Drive to Stop Diabetes℠ campaign features awareness and educational efforts at NASCAR Nationwide race events, as well as off-track health and wellness initiatives across the country throughout the year. dwinQ, an innovative social media platform, will be an associate sponsor at Bristol and will be on hand to allow Reed’s fans to interact with him virtually.
