Greetings! I wouldn't post this but I know that CS consultants have a GREAT BIG HEART!!:D :D

I'm writing to you to ask for your support in a very special cause. I have a niece Rachel who is only 5 years old with Type 1 diabetes :( , and a Nephew Michael who is 18 and has had Type 1 Diabetes for 8 years now :( . I would like to support my Sister in law Christina Fought who is collecting money for this GREAT cause. I will be joining "Team Rachel" in the Walk to Cure Diabetes, with Christina as the Team Leader.

I know most of us spend $5-10 on lunch every day...so please take a moment and spare as much as your heart can, even a $10 donation goes a long way. :-) Follow the link below to donate to our team and support such a great cause!.:D :D

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. 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.

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'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 & I love you all!!:D :D :D
