Walk to Cure Diabetes!

We had a great time this Saturday, August 23rd at Wheeler Farm doing our annual Walk to Cure Diabetes! It seems that every year there are more and more people who participate in this fun event! Thank you so much to everyone who donated their time to walk, and to those who generously donated money to our team! Poor Brent got two bee stings before we even got started, but he was tough! They got us warmed up for the walk with Suzanne, Marianne and Sarah doing the chicken dance while Grandpa and Adelle played! Little Grace was as always a little trooper and wanted to hold Grandmas hand while we walked! Adelle started the walk wide awake . . . but with Suzanne's magic touch, she fell sound asleep in her arms while walking! The weather was just starting to get hot, but for the most part it wasn't too bad. After the walk, we ate some sack lunches, and headed home. Thanks again to the "Lorianne Robertson Family Team of 2008" . . . Suzanne, Julianne, Lorianne, Peter, Daniel, Jade, Tasia, Sarah, Phil, Marianne, Grace and Adelle!

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!!!

Grandma's Private Showing!

I got a phone call the other morning. It was Alexa wanting to know if she could come over to our house so we could play "dogs" together. Alexa knows I love to play with her and Grace and Adelle (when she lets me), so of course I said yes. I ended up being Dopey (go figure), she was the Jaguar, and there was a giant dog the kept smashing us. Finally, our magic carpet flew in and we were saved!!! We watched a video (grandma fell asleep while Alexa brought the container of brown sugar and a spoon from the kitchen into the bedroom where we were watching the movie), then we got the video camera, and I was in for a real treat with singing and dancing (notice the video where she is dancing, I'm pretty sure the brown sugar kicked in!)
