2008 Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk To Cure

[LadyBug]

Hi, guys! I'm not sure how many of you know, but i have Type One(or Juvenile)Diabetes. every year we do a fund-raiser walk to try and cure it. i won't grow out of it, i will have to deal with it daily until they find a cure. we mail letters out to friends and family, asking for funds and prayers to help find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes. since i don't have y'all's mailing addresses, and since i have a lot of friends on the forum, i thought i'd post here!

It's a daily struggle to try and control my blood sugar. i have something called an Insulin Pump that i have to keep in me all the time; it's kinda like an I.V.

this is what the Infusion Set looks like, i put mine in my upper buttocks and in my tummy(i have no idea who this kid is, i just did a yahoo search!)-

this is what my pump looks like(only blue!)-

and so i'm asking, if you can, for donations to my Walk Team-Anna's Hope. Anna's Hope is our team name because it's my hope that we find a cure!

here's the Web site-http://www.jdrf.org. click on the green sneaker, then in Support A Walker put Anna(in the first name place) Anna's Hope in the team place, and select Florida.

Thanks so much for reading this!if you do donate, please PM me your address so we can send you a thank you letter!

Anna(and My mom and sister!)

P.S. Mods, if this isn't allowed, please delete it for me!

Ny uncle has diabetes and also my mom's friend. I see y'all have to be very aware of what you eat. ..And if you hear 'Theres no sugar in the fudge' DONT EAT THE FUDGE..

Aha sorry but my moms friend asked if there was sugar in fudge and my mom laughed and said no, Thinking that she probably knew..Well she went home and ate a whole pack!..

Thanks so much guys! hehe, know what you mean about cards! i like to bead and i always have to go, "mom.....i found some REALLY cute beads! i promise I'll pay you back!" LOL

I'm getting soooo excited about this years walk. i was so hyper last night at 12(am:shockthat i almost didn't get to sleep at all(and this was after a day at the mall). we've already got $200 and we just mailed letter's Tuesday! I'm trying to get my friends more involved this year; I'm pressing collection envelopes on them(and Grandma*you haven't been to your office for a while have you Grandma? why not go with a JDRF envelope?:biggrin2:*mom's friends, my friends parents, no one escapes!)and one of them has already gotten one of her cousin's involved!

My Dad's company(PBS&J)are the corporate co-chair's and, as if that's not cool enough, they're at the same office as him! so I'm hoping more people will donate because of that(does it REALLY matter if they're doing it to look good or not? money's still money and it still helps find a cure! of course we'd RATHER them do it just because they care, but the world being what it is.............).

I'll keep updating when ever i have more news!

Anna - I just went to the site and looked for your information. I can't make a donation right now - but I do see that the walk is March 1st. Do we have until then to make the donation?

I just need to wait till a better payday....

I'm glad you're doing so well! I wish we could walk with you! we've done the walks before and had a great time!

Do you have like a big party? ours did..... we had several groups and we had food, and games and all sorts of stuff for the kids! it was great!

Hey Anna, sorry I missed this thread!! (I miss a lot). :sigh:

For future reference, it'snot allowed without permission, but you have our permission!

That pic of you and Violet...er... Mocha!...is :adorable:

My sister is a diabetic, same as you, and she's had a pump for years. (Because she's also a doctor, she ended up with an experiemental one).They seem very handy. (Now I just need to convince her to get a rabbit and join the board and donate a small -- or large -- fortune!)

Good luck with Anna's Hope! :goodluck

Yes, you can donate up untill about a month after the walk(after that they have to tally it for the awards in May).

it's huge! they always have big blow-ups for the kids to play on(jump house, ect.).i wish you could come too!(*wonders how manyymiles it is.........)i think this years going to be our bigget yet(for OUR team)! i keep going nutty with excitment!this is me(at times!)-inkbouce::woohoo:weee::clapping:inkbouce:

i LOVE my pump! i've had it for almost two years and would NEVER want to go without it! does your sis want a bunny for her b-day(i'm SURE she does!)? then we could have our own little club(the Juvenile-Diabtics-With-Bunnies-Club!):biggrin2:

oh, yeah. here's a few funny's mom and i thought up(we're in high powered fund raising mode. i even talked to the manger at our local Publix(big deal for me! i almost always muddle my words when i get nearvos!)any way, here are the funny's!

I'm very pleased to be able to donate to this very worthy cause! No donation is too small. If everyone contributed $1.00, it would add up fast!! If you don't have paypal, I'll bet if you contacted Anna she would send you a snail-mail address for a donation.

Good luck with your walk Anna!!!!!

 

[LadyBug]

Yup! we can deff. do snail mail. that's a really good point, i'd forgotten about(thanks:highfive::bunnyhugand your right, no amount is too small. if 100 people gave five dollers, it would add up really fast!

 

[LadyBug]

i had a GREAT day on Sunday,six(one of them being Grandma)people at Church took JDRF envelopes and are going to take them to their offices(Uncle Mike said something about his Toast master's Club. and he's not REALLY my Uncle, his wife and my mom have known each other since they where, like, 10 or 11......so they're my 'Aunt' and 'Uncle'!)! i'm soooo X-ited!inkbouce:inkbouce:inkelepht:inkelepht::energizerbunny::happyrabbit:
