Juvenile Diabetes Foundation Walk for the Cure

On October 28, I participated in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundations' Walk for the Cure. Over 2000 families took a 5-kilometre scenic walk around the Cook College campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Together we raised almost $200,000 toward research to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes.

There were quite a few families who entered the event as teams complete with T-shirt and banner designs. A few of the corporate sponsors also had team walking in the event. Corporate sponsors provided food (QuikChek) and numerous product samples (Splenda) product. There were music and prizes and other entertainment for the kids.

Walk for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

On October 28 I will be walking in the Walk to Cure Diabetes event benefiting the Mid-Jersey Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

My personal fundraising goal is $1000. I would appreciate any support that you could give me for this very worthwhile cause.

Since there are more than 18 million Americans affected by diabetes, I believe that my work with JDRF is important and well worth the effort. I am particularly proud of the fact that JDRF has provided more funding for diabetes research than any other non-governmental agency in the world.

Please visit my Walk Web page if you would like to donate online or see how close I am to reaching my personal goal:

Thank you for considering this request for your support. If you have any questions about the Walk to Cure Diabetes or the work of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, please do not hesitate to call me.
