Thanking you in advance for Your support.

Dear Friends, This year, I'll be taking part in JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes, on September 14, in Glen Falls, NY. Our whole family will be walking with Caroline. My daughter, Sue, has gotten us all t-shirts that will say "Team Caroline."

Caroline, now age eight became a diabetic at the age of two. In her short life she has had over 8800+ Insulin shots.

She has been such a special Granddaughter to me. You would never know she has diabetes. She loves to sing and dance, play softball, and fight with her brother. This year she has become very interested in "finding a cure." She recently told her Mother......"Mommy, when they find a cure for diabetes we're getting it!" Mommy agrees.

Her Uncle David has been a diabetic since he was ten years old. He is doing well and is using the Insulin pump.

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!

If you can help support this cause to help Caroline, any amount will be appreciated.

Jane
