"Our goal is to encourage people to help others. If everyone gave back just a little, it would cause a rippling effect of giving." |

Mollie and Jackie are twins who want to double the giving when it comes to diabetes. Mollie alone has diabetes, but they work together for the millions like her. They've founded Diabetic Angels to teach young people about the disease and get them to lobby for a cure. They've also put a face on diabetes by appearing on TV, testifying before Congress, and organizing walks that have collected over $500,000 for diabetes research. "We've had a lot of practice in getting people to listen to us," Mollie says. And they've put what they've learned in their booklet, The Road to a Cure.
