That's quite a list of accomplishments! I must admit that I only found you here about 3 1/2 years ago, but I'm glad I did. Thank You for everything you do, including writing in this space.

Apple introduced the iPhone and we took the greatest picture of all time! I'm so glad you started writing so we could become friends! <3
Happy (belated) Anniversary! It makes me feel kind of old but you can relax; you're younger than I am!!!
I work for a small division of a company that is currently looking to address some of the key challenges faced by Diabetics - We are currently looking to develop preventative solutions for those at risk of developing Diabetic Foot Ulcers.
The stats state that 1/4 Diabetics are likely to get a Diabetic Foot Ulcer, which significantly increases the risk of an amputation – For many, amputations lead to lower resultant life expectancy and at times 2nd or 3rd amputations.
Hence, having identified the challenges faced by such populations and eager to lend a helping hand, we have formed a team,which is currently focusing in developing solutions that will help address this need.
Having come across your blog, I wanted to reach out to you, to see if you could connect me with any one you may know who has struggled with this challenge.
We look to connect with individuals so that the solutions we develop will meet their deepest need – as many times, solutions are developed that are not always user friendly and go un used.
I would like very much to heard from you and look forward to it.
