Very Important

[Mr. Beefy]

I will be walking for a cure for Juvenile Diabetes on October 12th 2008 in Avon, NJ. My wife, father, grandmother, father-in-law(deceased 6 years ago) all have diabetes and this is a very important topic to me. Every penny donated is sent directly to the research for a cure to juvinile diabetes. If you feel so inclined to help find a cure for this deadly disease that affects many of people in the US alone please feel free to donate. There is a link at the bottom of the post where you can click and donate. I appreciate any help this community is willing to give. Below is some information from my walker site. Thanks for looking!


I'm writing to you to ask for your support in a very special cause.

This year, I'll be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes along with a half-million other walkers across the country. Our goal: To raise $100 million to help fund research for a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.

Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating, often deadly disease that affects millions of people--a large and growing percentage of them children.

Many people think type 1 diabetes can be controlled by insulin. While insulin does keep people with type 1 diabetes alive, it is NOT a cure. Aside from the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes, there are many severe, often fatal, complications caused by the disease.

That's the bad news... and yes, it's pretty bad.

The good news, though, is that a cure for type 1 diabetes is within reach. In fact, JDRF funding and leadership is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research to date. And JDRF funds a major portion of all type 1 diabetes research worldwide, more than any other charity.

I'm writing to ask for your support because now more than ever, EACH of us can be a part of bringing about a cure. Each of us can make a real difference

Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as you're able?

Together, we can make the cure a reality.

Thank you,

John Sotelo

I will give 10 bucks if that could help(sorry, money is getting tight). I'll do it this week if it's not too late to donate.

Ok, it is done.

Thank You very much for your donation.

Every bit helps, whether it's $5 or $500.....
