JACKSONVILLE, FL (12/01/2012)- The Save A Leg Save A Life (SALSAL) Foundation is running a new social campaign to raise awareness for its foundation and the importance of limb preservation. The campaign, “25 Days of Giving” going on now through December 25th. When you make a donation via our website or on our blog, you or your loved one can share a testimony of healing with our international network of medical professionals, doctors, surgeons, and other patients. Bell adds, “This campaign is perfect for anyone looking to give a unique holiday gift in someone’s name or honor.” SALSAL is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit foundation, which relies on donations to help improve wound-healing outcomes and reduce lower extremity amputations through education, community outreach and advocacy. Did you know, diabetic foot infections are becoming more common, and about 50% of patients who have a foot amputation die within 5 years? According to the 2012 Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines, about half of lower extremity amputations that aren’t caused by trauma can be prevented through proper care of foot infections. Here’s how it will work: click on this link: http://bit.ly/ToBFOP to visit the SALSAL donation page. Fill out all of your information and choose a donation option from $10 and up.
