Merrimack, NH—Buyatimeshare.com and Defeat Diabetes Foundation put together a timeshare donation program in late 2009. It is estimated that over 20 million Americans suffer from Diabetes.  Andy Mandell and his brother Jerry co-founded the Defeat Diabetes Foundation in 1990.

Andy after being diagnosed with Diabetes in 1985 was faced with a choice, make drastic health changes or die. Through aggressive self management and sound advice from a group of specialists, Andy began to rebound.  He launched and internet site Defeatdiabetes.org.  He has been educating the public about diabetes through The Defeat Diabetes internet website and through public appearances.

Research says that any form of on-line support to a diabetic will result in better management of critical parameters to prevent future complications. This is particularly useful and relevant for professionals who are high-risk for diabetes because of the lack balance between work and life.  Many are unable to keep pace with doctor’s appointments and monitoring their illness.

Peter Emery Director of Sales for Buyatimeshare.com explains, “My father suffered with Diabetes before passing away. When Andy Mandell contacted Buyatimeshare.com asking for our help, it seemed like a perfect fit.” Buyatimeshare.com has raised more than $5000.00 since the inception of the timeshare donation program.
