Support Gail Daniels in the 2007 Walk to Cure Diabetes
Greetings!
I'm writing to you to ask for your support in a very special cause.
This year, I'll be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes along with a half-million other walkers
across the country. THAT'S RIGHT, YOU HEARD IT.... GAIL IS EXERCISING. Our
goal: To raise $90 million to help fund research for a cure for type 1
diabetes and its complications.
Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating, often deadly disease that
affects millions of people--a large and growing percentage of them children.
My cousin Emily has had this since she was very little.
Many people think type 1 diabetes can be controlled by insulin. While
insulin does keep people with type 1 diabetes alive, it is NOT a cure. Aside
from the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes, there are many
severe, often fatal, complications caused by the disease.
That's the bad news... and yes, it's pretty bad.
The good news, though, is that a cure for type 1 diabetes is within reach.
In fact, JDRF funding and leadership is associated with most major
scientific breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research to date. And JDRF funds
a major portion of all type 1 diabetes research worldwide, more than any
other charity. (I am also personally motivated because any research can
eventually help the type 2 which my father, many of my close friends and my
late Grandma Alice had.)
I'm writing to ask for your support because now more than ever, EACH of us
can be a part of bringing about a cure. Each of us can make a real
difference.
Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as you're able?
Together, we can make the cure a reality.
Thank you,
Gail Daniels
