About Me

Welcome to NJBG Support's Myspace page!**This accompanies NJBG SUPPORT'S main site: www.njbgsupport.com.**Diabetes is a serious disease that affects over 23 million people in America alone. Through NJBG Support, inspired by and supporting Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers (who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2005) and Björn van Gerwen (the founder/creator's boyfriend), we aim to raise funds to fight diabetes and find a cure. The Jonas Brothers started a foundation called CHANGE FOR THE CHILDREN, which supports 5 charities of the brothers' choosing that help make this world a healthier, safer place for children. Among them is the AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION. Since there is no way to donate directly to Change For the Children at this time, 100% of the donations made through NJBG Support will be donated to the American Diabetes Association Research Foundation.Please help us out. Help raise awareness about diabetes and support the mission to find a cure for it by joining the fight today. Be sure to check out our NEWLY LAUNCHED DOMAIN at www.njbgsupport.com and visit our diabetes resource section, merchandise and donation pages, and stop by our promotion corner to snag a banner or avatar for your site. :)Keep fighting![LOVEMYFLASH]
