It's time to wrap up week one of Give All The Things... I'll be back at it on Monday with some stuff that's sure to please your favorite grown-up PWDs! But first, onto today's "Things":
Products: Five Lenny the Lion stuffed animals!
Made possible by: Medtronic Diabetes
Why you want this: Lenny the Lion is the children’s diabetes ambassador sponsored by Medtronic. He has diabetes, wears an insulin pump and teaches kids how to lead a strong and active lifestyle like him – and not to let diabetes hold them back! Some of his activities include hosting the Junior Cup Diabetes soccer tournament in Europe, attending diabetes camps, walks and expos, and the development of his very own mobile app, "Carb Counting with Lenny".
In addition, Lenny helps children brand new to pump therapy learn about inserting an infusion set. Every child 12 years or younger who goes on the Medtronic insulin pump for the first time, and is brand new to insulin pump therapy, receives their very own Lenny stuffed animal at training. Lenny has areas on his body to practice putting infusion sets in and comes with a guide to infusion set placement. You can find him on his website: www.lenny-diabetes.com.
You may also have seen him on my shelf during a video or two:

Note that the five I'm giving away are not the Build-a-Bear Lennys, but the "original" version. Build-a-Bear clothes won't fit these little guys.
To enter today's giveaway contest: Leave your best lion/cat pun in the comments section below (for example, "I want a Lenny be-claws he's awesome", or "Lenny is the cat's meow"... get creative, you guys) before 5:00pm CST today. I'll update this post right after 5:00 with the names of the five winners. This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only, and is intended for people with diabetes and their caregivers.
Good luck!

I would love Lenny to watch over Justin while he's "lion" in bed at night.
ReplyDeleteThe original Lenny the lion is so pawsome it should be in a mewseum.
ReplyDeleteJust want to comment (and not enter) my daughter just got her Lenny on Monday at pump start and he is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt would make it more pawsible for me to make a blue circle sweater for my friends' Lennys if I had a mane squeeze of my own to serve as a model.
ReplyDelete(while you claim future give-aways will be focused on adults, you didn't state an age limit for this one. Also, I am a leo; I feel an extra connection to Lenny.)
Conversation between me and my 2-year-old T1D daughter, Isabella:
ReplyDeleteIsa: Mommy, I PAWSitively want a Lenny for Christmas.
Me: Well, I don't know if we CARNIVOREd it.
Isa: What do I need to do to get AFRICAN Lenny!?! It's the MANE thing I want.
Me: Would it really be a CATastrophy if you don't get one? It might be imPAWSible to get one.
Isa: I'm not LION, mommy. I'll do anything, just tell me what it would enTAIL.
Me: Well, DEN, we just need to PREY. :)
Lenny would be purrfect for me... I would love a new friend right meow(:
ReplyDeleteI'm not lion: I'd love to have one of these!
ReplyDeleteMy son would love to bring Lenny to his Lion's Den for some love and playtime. Lenny's companionship would CATapult my son's bravery into the next realm.
ReplyDeleteThere would be pLENNY of joy if we could snuggle with him while LION around the house!
ReplyDeleteTo be purrfectly honest, I'd be lion if I said I didn't want one of these. Manely beclaws I started MM pumping at 12 and they weren't around then.
ReplyDeleteI'm not lion when I say I did not get Lenny when I got my pump.
