Walk to CURE diabetes




Tomorrow is the walk to cure diabetes! This is a big deal in our household. We didn't plan ahead as much as we did last year (hence: new baby, busy, tired) but we (our group) still managed to raised $3,000 for JDRF and many walkers plan to join us for the walk on the beach. We were reminded today that this event brings in a lot of emotion! Depression for one - the plan for the walk is a constant reminder of the difficulties of living with diabetes. Excitement - we may actually raise enough money eventually to fund the research that will one day find the CURE!!! Anger (hers and ours) - that my ten year old (baby girl) has to CONSTANTLY think about what she can/can't eat, to cover (check out her blog)...anyways, we are very excited about tomorrow and hope for a better future for so many suffering with daily management of diabetes.

Love you Elli! You are so strong - Esther girl! Look up! God has promised you and hope for a future!
