Juvenile Diabetes Walk

[Felburg]

I normally don't post these types of messages to forums, but I need some help.

Next month, I will be participating in a walk to help find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes.

This walk will be on November 1st, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, CA.

If anyone can help, it will be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to mention that the walk will be 5K.

Here is some info about JDRF that you may find interesting:


JDRF is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 (juvenile) diabetes research worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes suddenly and requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin through a pump. Insulin, however, is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $1.16 billion to diabetes research, including more than $137 million in FY2007. In FY2007, the Foundation funded 700 centers, grants and fellowships in 20 countries.

I have two weeks to go!
