JDRF of The Ozarks

Vote For Ivie to Meet Nick Jonas!

Who wouldn't want to meet Nick Jonas?! 

Ivie Macy from Ava, MO was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last year is beating her diabetes by writing about her experiences of living with the disease.  She encourages other type 1 diabetics to score a simple win of beating the disease with staying positive. 

This amazing 12 year old has submitted a video to Nick Jonas' web site and has been selected as one of the finalists to meet the superstar, but she can't win if you don't vote.  Go to the web site and select Ivie's video and vote.  You can only vote once a day and the contest is up next Friday (July 31, 2009).  So get your friends and family to support the Ozarks' own Ivie Macy to meet Nick Jonas by forwarding the link to your e-mail lists.
