Summary
Lack of access to insulin is the most common cause of death for children with diabetes in many countries around the world. In fact, in some parts of the world, the estimated life expectancy of a child who has just developed diabetes could be less than a year.

Spare a Rose, Save a Child is simple: buy one less rose this Valentine’s Day and donate the value of that flower to children with diabetes.
Your donation will provide:
- Regular insulin
- Quality blood glucose monitoring equipment (meter, strips, lancets)
- Essential clinical care
- Up-to-date diabetes education materials
- Specialised diabetes training for medical staff
Thank you for considering this wonderful cause!
My best, Scott

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody I just wanted to take a second here. It's just going to be a couple minutes of your time to let you know about |
| 0:13.7 | something called Spare Rose Save a Child. This is not an ad, this is not anything I have a direct |
| 0:19.8 | connection to. It's a charitable organization that came to being a couple of years ago. |
| 0:27.0 | They have a simple idea that around Valentine's Day, instead of giving somebody a dozen roses, give them 11, and with the money you save on that 12th |
| 0:35.2 | rows, make a donation to spare a rose. And here's what's going to happen when you do that. |
| 0:41.1 | When you donate your money it goes directly to life for a child and life |
| 0:47.4 | for a child is, it's from the International Diabetes Federation and what they're going to do is they're going to take your money $3, $4, $5, and they're going to save the life of a child who has type 1 diabetes who is living somewhere on this planet where |
| 1:04.6 | insulin and supplies are not readily available. So there's really not much more to |
| 1:10.2 | it than that. You go to spare arose.org you figure out how much money you can |
| 1:14.9 | afford to give and you know when you're having a bad day you can stop and |

| 1:23.0 | it's got some insulin because of me and you can feel pretty good about that so you |
| 1:27.8 | know you're you're giving your loved one 11 roses and when they ask how come I've only got 11 roses and when they ask, how come I've only got 11 roses, you could say because we |
| 1:36.4 | saved a little kid's life too. |
| 1:38.9 | There really isn't anything else I want to tell you. |
| 1:41.8 | Life for a child, it's a movement of the International Diabetes Federation, it's IDF.org. |
| 1:49.7 | All this is very above board, great organizations. |
| 1:53.6 | Spare Rose was, excuse me, Spare Rose was brought into existence |
| 1:58.3 | by a few diabetes bloggers that you may know. again some really great people who I've |
| 2:06.0 | known for a very long time but I do not have a direct connection to their org but |
| 2:10.0 | but you know suffice to say that when I see these these kinds of people involved I know that something good's happening |
| 2:16.5 | You know I you know I I guess I want to tell you just a little tiny bit more |
