Walking for Juvenile Diabetes Research
While I was being a blogging slacker, one of the things I neglected to write about was the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund (JDRF) walk. It is this Sunday, September 20th and I’m walking with my mom and a team from work. It’s a THREE MILE WALK. Am I crazy?! Don’t answer that!! (The three miles probably wouldn’t be so bad on its own if we weren’t going to be walking in Chicago all day on Saturday.)
The proceeds of the walk will be going to fund the research for a cure for Type 1 Diabetes and the complications. Type 1 is usually controlled by insulin, but it’s not a cure. There are still daily challenges, and severe, often fatal, complications for those who suffer from the disease.
My personal fundraising goal is a modest $100. I currently have $10 (I haven’t made my own contribution yet.) Would you be willing to help? All it takes is a few people willing to give a few dollars. Every little bit helps. If you’d like to donate to my personal walk, you can click here. If you have some extra money to donate, I’d really appreciate it! If not, no worries, I understand that money is tight these days!

Big respect that you have decided to go for a charity walk. I also try to participate in such activities in my city. I hope you will write some report with picture how was on the walk. Would love to see it. Only one more day left so I wish you good luck.
