ADVISORY, Nov. 14, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) --
What: Marg McGill, Senior Vice President, and Brian Wentzell, Senior Vice President, of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) will preside over the closing bell in honor of World Diabetes Day. Today over 200 landmarks will light up in blue to mark the first United Nations-observed World Diabetes Day. Included among them are many of the world's most iconic buildings and sites. The landmarks will light up the skyline in the blue colour of the diabetes circle, the global symbol for diabetes. The Empire State Building, one of New York's most famous landmarks, was the first building to join the World Diabetes Day campaign and agree to light up in blue. Since then the campaign has been joined by some of the world's most famous landmarks, including the Sydney Opera House, the London Eye, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Tokyo Tower, Niagara Falls, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, the Aleppo Citadel in Syria, the Obelisk in Buenos Aires, the Sears Tower in Chicago, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, and the building currently considered the world's tallest: the Taipei 101 Tower in Taiwan.
