Donations for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation?
 

In light of some people coming in here looking for donations for themselves, I was curious if any of you might be interested in donating a little something toward the Ron Santo Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation walk this weekend, October 3rd, 2004?

Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes

I am walking because of my little nephew who is 5 years old and was diagnosed with Type 1, or Juvenile Diabetes just 11 days after his first birthday.

He now wears an insulin pump which at this time is his best chance for a more flexible and healthy lifestyle. Wearing the pump means that he does not get the 5 to 6 insulin shots daily, although he still must endure the pain of moving the tubing site every 3 days and as many as 8 finger sticks daily. He is also still at risk for developing devasting complications such as kidney failure, heart disease and blindness. He must wear the pump 24/7 even in the bathtub and the swimming pool.

Of every dollar raised at the JDRF/Ron Santo Walk, 85 cents goes toward research to find a cure.
