Purchase "The T206 Collection: The Players & Their Stories" for a good cause!
Tom Zappala, author of "The T206 Collection: The Players & Their Stories" asked me to post this press release for him. I spoke to Tom on the phone and he is really passionate about this foundation and the work they do. I was happy to assist him in getting this information out to the Net54 community.
Press Release November 8, 2010 Authors Tom & Ellen Zappala of Merrimac, Massachusetts are pleased to announce that they are partnering with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to help find a cure for Diabetes. Finding a cure is close to the Zappala's hearts as two children in the family have Type 1 Diabetes. Because of this, the Zappalas will be donating $10.00 from each purchase of their award-winning first edition baseball book, The T206 Collection: The Players & Their Stories which was released in June 2010 to national acclaim. It is a beautiful hardcover coffee table book with colorful images and captivating stories of the men responsible for our National Pastime. This is the perfect holiday gift for every fan of baseball, even the casual baseball fan. Books may be purchased on the author's website www.t206players.com The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is the worldwide leader for research to cure type 1 diabetes. It sets the global agenda for diabetes research, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of diabetes science worldwide.* The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump - each day and every day of their lives. Even with that intensive care, insulin does not cure diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.* Since its' founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.3 billion to worldwide diabetes research, including more than $107 million last year. For more information regarding JDRF, call 781-431-0700 or visit www.jdrf.org/baystate Note: For a complete press kit and reviews of the book go to www.t206players.com
