JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes

October 11, 2009 - we participated in our 2nd walk. It was a gorgeous day...we could not have asked for better weather! We had a group of family and friends that came to walk with us and show their love and support for Chase. It is times like these, that make me realize (not that I really forget), how lucky we are to have the family and friends we do have.
We have raised about $1600- and will be receiving more donations in the next week or two. We are so excited to get donations to give to the JDRF. Without this organization...there would be no hope of a cure for Type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes). For the JDRF, we are so grateful and will continue a life long journey of collecting donations for research.
If anyone is interested in donating, we would love and appreciate all of the support we can get!!!

On the drive into Reno for the walk, I asked Chase if he would like to have a cure someday? He said "NO!"...I am not sure if he understands that, but I tried to explain it. I see how he deals daily with his diabetes, and he honestly doesn't even notice it! Which I am so grateful that he is being himself, and not letting something like this, consume him. It however consumes me, and I would love a cure for him. Not for me!!! I want my son to live a life that is not in jeapordy of horrific complications. I want him to be able to eat or drink something and never have to give it another thought. The next process to be only digestion - not how much insulin is now needed!!!
Anyways, he is doing awesome!!!! And with that said, life has been a beautiful blessing...blood sugar testing and all!!!!
