Rex Olsen is walking with Rogue Rex on September 12, 2009 in Colorado Springs, CO.
Hello! 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 $105 million.
Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people, a large and growing percentage of them children. I am one of these 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! I look forward to the day I don't have to worry about having too much insulin or not enough. I am optimistic that in the very near future this will all be a distant memory that I had to survive through needles and my insulin pump.
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! Last year you helped us raise $1700 towards the cure that would impact not only diabetes but other auto-immune diseases.
