30-Sep-08: Kiwicaching does not promote commercial activity but this coin may be of interest to those affected by Diabetes either in person or through relationships and friends:

World Diabetes Day
 
World Diabetes Day 2007 Geocoin is trackable with custom Icon.
Following the success of the Unite for Diabetes Campaign, the General Assembly of the United Nations passed a landmark Resolution in December 2006 recognising diabetes as a chronic, debilitation and costly disease. The Resolution designated the existing World Diabetes Day - 14th November - as a United Nations Day as of 2007.
 
To commemorate the first World Diabetes Day, limited edition Geocoins were made available around the world. Following the success of the campaign and requests from many participants to purchase these geocoins, 1,500 limited edition 2007 commemorative World Diabetes Day Geocoins are now being made available for purchase. Unlike the originally distributed Geocoins, these coins are unactivated and may be activated by the purchaser.
 
These are unique collectors item's commemorating the first World Diabetes Day. To find out more about World Diabetes Day, please visit: www.worlddiabetesday.org . To find our more about the World Diabetes Day Geocoin promotion, please visit: http://unite.geocaching.com .

This coin is trackable on geocaching.com. You may find these Geocoins for purchase on the Geoswag WDD page. Perhaps a bulk order could be made to reduce shipping costs?

Order placed 02 October 2008. We purchased 5 geocoins. There are more available for individual purchase.
