It’s that time of year again, I am walking in the annual Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk-For-A-Cure on October 8. In the past, several readers were very generous and donated to the campaign. I’m hoping that my few readers will again make the effort.
Juvenile Diabetes effects more than 18 million Americans, with a new diagnoses every hour. Insulin is not a cure and the destructive nature of this disease seriously impacts not only the quality of life of the patient, but their life expectancy as well.
There is hope and in the last few years the JDRF has made great strides in funding research that has brought the cure ever closer. With your help, we can find a cure.
I believe that every dollar counts*, so please give whatever you can and, I will be forever grateful. Along with my gratitude, I will also give you a place of honor on the S&T page noting you as a kind, generous and giving person!
It’s best to donate online and you can do that by clicking HERE. (Check out my thermometer!)
Again, thank you for helping to stop this terrible disease.
*Of course, more dollars count more…

A very worthy cause. Good luck!
Wow, Chris, your thermometer is getting bigger and bigger! Does it ALWAYS make that noise when it goes up? :-)
I admire you for getting involved in such a good cause. Have fun during the walk.
Yes, it gets bigger and bigger... (queue porn music: wacka-chicka-wacka-chicka-bow-wow!)
Thank you for your donation--I'll put a bigger plug on the website (I totally promise)
