Megan Blethen is walking with Heath Family on September 12, 2009 in Idaho Falls, ID.
My good friends daughter, Lainey, is 3 years old and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on February 22, 2007, just shortly after her first birthday.
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.
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. I know that times are hard right now, if you can give, your donation will be appreciated!
