I have decided to do the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes in Santa Monica (Sunday, October 22) after taking a few years off. In honor of my myspace group, I have named my team "groups.myspace.com/diabetes".
It would be amazing to get some of you guys who are a bit closer to be walkers. In fact, if you're willing to come quite a ways, I may have some crashing space at my house and you can make a Southern California weekend of it :o)
I'm attempting to raise at least $1000 for diabetes research, so chip in if you can. Every little bit helps (plus, its tax deductible :o) The national goal is $86 million, so lets try to put a little dent in that. I know we can.
You can join or make donations here
I'll keep you guys posted on my progress. Thanks in advance for all of your support. I know I can do it with your help.
Quite honestly, this group really does help me immensely, especially (but not solely) when it comes to diabetes. For something that I know can be such a personal struggle, they have really built a community that so many people benefit from. I get messages fairly often these days from new members praising me for starting the group. I am such a small part of what makes this group great. I am honored to be a part of it. Keep up the good work.
P.S. They hold these walks all over the country, so feel free to start your own teams at your local walks. Then let everyone know about it :o)
