Walk To Cure Diabetes - Open Invitation to Join Our Team!

It's walk time again, and we are excited to once again be involved in this wonderful event! Taking part in the Walk is a great experience. Not only will you be making a real difference in helping to find a cure that will change the lives of millions... you'll be having FUN, and getting a good workout too!

First, let us tell you a little about why this cause is so important to our family. Most of you already know that our daughter Lorianne was diagonosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was 11. We participate every year in this wonderful fundraiser to raise money to find a cure for Lorianne as well as millions of others battling this disease every day. Every year, more than 30,000 new cases of type 1 diabetes--the most severe form of the disease--are diagnosed in the United State alone, a large and growing percentage of them children. Day-to-day living is a challenge for people with type 1 diabetes--and multiple insulin injections are only the beginning. But what's even harder is facing the reality of the devastating complications that can stem from their condition.

As you can imagine, it's easy for people with type 1 diabetes to feel that their future is uncertain. But thanks to research funded by organizations such as JDRF, people with diabetes have a new sense of hope. Scientists have made enormous progress, and a cure for type 1 diabetes is now within reach. That's why this is such a crucial time, and why we're inviting all of our family and friends to join us in walking with our team, "The Lorianne Robertson Family Team" to raise money that will speed these scientists toward that cure. Every walker, and every dollar, brings us that much closer.

So please, come join me for this very special day... and a chance to make a real difference! If you can't join us for the walk, but would like to donate any money towards reaching our team goal, please contact me at tabu16@comcast.net, and I will let you know where to send your donation!!!

We'll be walking at Wheeler Farm, Tri-County, UT on August 23, 2008. You can find out more and sign up at: http://walk.jdrf.org/walker.cfm?id=87048528. Thank you so much in advance for any way you can help us to make this a successful walk for our team this year!!!
