Ignorance is a Curable Disease
FiveHumans wwwfivehumanscom is a company on a mission to cure
ignorance of disease through hip, fashionable clothing The collection

Diabetes, and Heart Disease Through their creativity, FiveHumans launched
a complete collection of disease related t-shirts for men and women, as
well as a line for children: LittleHumans Ignite thought while turning
heads through hip designs, attention-getting sayings and factual
statistics
FiveHumans is proud to announce their partnership with the Diabetes Hands
Foundation wwwdiabeteshandsfoundationorg The Diabetes Hands
Foundations mission is to provide an open space for people touched by
diabetes to connect with others in pursuit of a healthy life through
support, information and creative expression They work
towards a world
where people with diabetes do not feel alone and people without diabetes
are well aware of diabetes and its implications at large
The Diabetes Hands Foundation runs two social networks for people touched
by diabetes: TuDiabetescom, the first ever social network about diabetes
in English and EsTuDiabetescom, its sister community in Spanish The
foundation also runs a number of programs to raise diabetes awareness, such
as Word In Your Hand, Drawing Diabetes and Diabetes Supplies Art

as possible to support non-profit organizations FiveHumans has designated
a charitable organization for every cause they support, each of which
receives 10 of the sale price of any related product All the FiveHumans
Diabetes Tees will support the Diabetes Hands Foundation
We are very excited about the partnership with FiveHumans, said Manny
Hernandez, co-founder of the Diabetes Hands Foundation It will help raise
diabetes awareness, so that more people can better understand what living
with diabetes is like Lee Fine, the founder of FiveHumans agrees,

same level
of passion, and commitment in making a difference
There are plenty of other causes for FiveHumans to wrap their t-shirts
around, and with their innovative style and top notch apparel, FiveHumans
has what it takes to raise awareness by using the power of impressions to
help spread knowledge and erase fears and ignorance Finally, a hip t-
shirt with a dual purposeStyle Cause Put it on and instantly become

About FiveHumans:
In 1999, Lee Fine was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Lee had never felt
so alone, so vulnerable, so nervous He was aware that the situation could
have been worse, but the reminder of the fragility of life is mind boggling
nonetheless Since becoming a diabetic, Lees life has changed
tremendously It was the final realization that he is only human which
enabled him to accept the fact that dealing with the disease would be
something he would have to take one day at a time Rather than becoming a
passive victim of his diagnosis, Lee decided to take action and become an
advocate of disease awareness through FiveHumans
FiveHumans tagline is Ignorance is a Curable Disease - not because they
intend to cure the world of ignorance through
their own superior intellect,
but because they believe that if humans can share their experiences and
knowledge collectively about their causes and even their lives, they can
begin to bring about awareness That is why their intent is to spark
conversations through their designs, products, and website- any way they
can, so that the humans actually affected by a cause are the voice
About the Diabetes Hands Foundation:
The Diabetes Hands Foundation is the only non-profit focused on connecting
people touched by diabetes diabetics as well as their loved ones and
raising diabetes awareness The foundation was co-fonded by Manny Hernandez
and his wife, Andreina Davila Manny was diagnosed with LADA diabetes in
2002 and has been wearing an insulin pump since 2005
The roots of Diabetes Hands Foundation go back to 2006, when the idea of
creating a social network for a higher purpose was born, later turning into
TuDiabetescom, the first social network about diabetes EstuDiabetescom
a sister community in Spanish followed, along with the first diabetes
awareness program, Word In Your Hand, which was born within the community
To make their mission possible, they run two online communities,
develop
diabetes awareness initiatives and work to connect people touched by
diabetes at the local level
