Tomorrow is the walk. My company supports JDRF as one of its four national sponsored charities (the others are Heart Association, HIV/AIDS and American Cancer Society.) It makes me so proud to be associated with this company. I was on the steering committee for activities surrounding this year's walk. Here in the Chicagoland area, it's called the Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes. Ron Santo makes the rounds of the walk locations, health permitting. I hope we can see him tomorrow.
We'll be walking at the Libertyville location. It's not our regular site, but it's where my company has a tent and activities and such. It promises to be cool and possibly rainy. Fun, fun, fun. Plus we have to leave at 7 am to get to the walk site by 8. I am tired already.
But, this cause is a good one. On the way to the cure, JDRF invests in technologies to assist those managing this disease and while a cure may be a dream, a long way off, an artificial pancreas is in clinical trials.
We don't do active fundraising as a family, but this year through efforts at work, I have raised a nice sum. I will be happy to collect a t-shirt for Peony
