WHAT'S HAPPENING IN OUR SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY
We, the Skinny Gene Project, feel it is important to be an active participant in our community. We hope to create or promote events that allow you to share in exciting new experiences, form new friendships, and live a healthy lifestyle.
To help you stay connected with our Skinny Gene Project community, and support other local events, we have organized these events by category and placed them onto 6 different calendars. This will enable you to look at all Skinny Gene Project Events on one calendar, or search by your specific interest (e.g Living Life for social events or Tantalizing Tastebuds for food-related events).
If you know of an event you would like us to place on our calendar, please email us at events@jmossfoundation.org.

Shattering the Silence
My aunt Gloria, the center and strength of our family, was needlessly taken by diabetes - the Silent Killer. For years diabetes ruthlessly attacked her body, making an already petite woman increasingly fragile. We watched as her health deteriorated, but we didn't know the reason why. She suffered in silence. She experienced chest pains and extreme exhaustion but said nothing.
Only after an infected stubbed toe, did she reveal that she had diabetes. She went to the hospital to have it examined. My aunt Gloria never came home again. She had a heart attack in the hospital before her toe had been treated. Her cause of death may have been diabetes, but I'd say silence was death's accomplice.
