Cindi Gatewood is walking with Alyssa's Angels on October 22, 2006 in Irvine, CA.

Hello Friends and family! As most of you know Alyssa was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes September 2006. It is NOT something she will outgrow or go away. She will deal with this her enitire life. This has been a very emotional time for us. She get 5 shots a day of insulin and we check her blood sugars 5 or more times a day depending on how she looks and feels. Alyssa seems to be just so brave with it all. It is a contstant battle of highs and lows. Its not just no sugar. At the moment she is on a strict diet. She eats at specific times and can have so much. I can't express the heartache everytime I have to prick her finger or give her her shot. I worry at night when she sleeps that she go low. So I check her blood sugar in the middle of the night as well.

This year, I'll be taking part in JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes, along with one-half million other walkers across the country, as we try to reach our goal of raising $90 million.

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

There is some good news, though. For the first time, scientists are predicting that we CAN expect to see a cure well within our lifetime!

Now, more than ever, you can make a crucial difference. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible? Together, we can make the cure a reality!
