Greetings!
As many of you know, juvenile diabetes is a very important cause to me. It is the disease that took my baby Noah's precious life on October 13, 2007, at only 13 months old. I'm making as many efforts as I can to support the JDRF, so that another child will not have to endure the fatal complications of type 1 diabetes. I'm writing to you to ask for your support in a very special cause.

This year, I'll be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes (10-04-08), along with a half-million other walkers across the country. Our goal: To raise $100 million to help fund research for a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.

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

Many people think type 1 diabetes can be controlled by insulin. While insulin does keep people with type 1 diabetes alive, it is NOT a cure. Aside from the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes, there are many severe, often fatal, complications caused by the disease.

That's the bad news... and yes, it's pretty bad.
The good news, though, is that a cure for type 1 diabetes is within reach. In fact, JDRF funding and leadership is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research to date. And JDRF funds a major portion of all type 1 diabetes research worldwide, more than any other charity.

I'm writing to ask for your support because now more than ever, EACH of us can be a part of bringing about a cure.
Each of us can make a real difference

Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as you're able?

Together, we can make the cure a reality.

Thank you,
Miranda Spangenberg (Noah's Mommy)

I strongly applaud your efforts and will be thinking of you during your event, as Kyra and I run with our dog Tasha in a dog charity race on the same day. In honor of Noah, and in hopes of finding a cure for my beloved cousin Billy, and thousands of others afflicted with this disease, I hope my small contribution makes a difference. Best wishes!
