6 days left! Sponsors needed please, Walk to find a Cure, JDRF (diabetes)

[lv4dogs]

I'm just seeing this - I'll make a donation (might have to wait until payday though ) Diabetes runs in my family, and my husband's, so I am definitely interested. Good luck reaching your goal!

Bless your soul Jen. I hope diabetes doesn't hit any more folks in your family. Oh and no hurry, you have until 5/21. Thanks a bunch.

I will certainly be donating money to this cause, as I have gestational diabetes (pregnancy diabetes), and since having it, it has opened up my eyes to this disease first hand...
If there is ever a walk in my area (and i am able to walk in it, not being 7 months pregnant, lol!!), I plan to walk too.

Hope you gets lots of sponsors!!

I am so sorry about your nephew Kyle.

Just gently bumping

I think I will donate via snail mail, b/c the site doesn't have a "lock" on it, saying it is a secure site...and I don't want to put credit card info on there w/o it being a secure site.

Thanks.
Robyn

I have had diabetes for nearly 17 years and I help with local diabetes support group by doing awareness and fundraising at every opportunity. It is amazing how much ignorance people have about this long term condition...I do not see it as a disease. I live with diabetes...i do not SUFFER from diabetes...I am not a victim.
Diabetes has never stopped me from doing anything....other than scuba diving or flying a plane....neither one i want to do anyway!
I still eat chocolate...very naughty and i may be paying for it now as my right eye has some bleeding in the retina area
I am on 4 injections a day and when i get to 40 (in about 5 years time!) I may have to go on cholesterol and heart medication to prevent any of the long term health problems occuring...that kind of scares the crap out of me but hopefully by then research may have found a way of stopping these from happening.
Sorry i have rambled on here but just thought I would tell you about me and what i do for a very good cause!
Feel free to ask any questions!
I am now off my soapbox......thanks for listening!

Just a gentle bump.

A friendly reminder to my wonderful PT friends, please don't forget that children all across the world need your support with this awful disease.

Every 30 seconds of every day a child is diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
Every 30 seconds of every day a leg is being amputated due to diabetes. 35 of those cases are children.
Diabetes kills one American every three minutes and is the 6th leading cause of death.
Diabetes is THE leading cause of Kidney Failure, adult blindness, non-traumatic amputations, nerve damage, stroke & heart attacks.

Please sponsor me in my walk to find a cure.

Our team, Kyles Krew hopes to exceed what we collected last year, which was just over $3000 total, $1200 of that was what I collected. (including online & offline donations) and we can not do this alone.

For those that have already done so I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
