The Mothers of JDRF..on a mission :)

Small world, I spoke with one of my clients who wanted us to sponsor tshirts for a walk a thon they were having on their property for JDRF. I was given a phone number to call and spoke with the lady in charge who was the mother of little Kaylan who has been diabetic since age 2.
I had to laugh as I always love talking to the Moms at JDRF because they absolutely get things done. High energy and on a mission to find a cure, a solution, or an improvement in their childs life.
You know who they are...they are the one on every committee, getting 5x more stuff done than everyone else.
God Bless the Moms.....

JDRF Gala.....

This weekend, my wife and I were honored to attend the JDRF Gala held in Jacksonville Florida. It was really a pretty amazing event. They had a silent auction that was huge!
There were hundreds in attendance and I know that they had a very positive fundraiser in the $ column. Everyone was very kind and it was a lot of fun. Thanks to the folks at the local Jacksonville Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
I was espescially touched by a picture they showed on the projector screen of a little guy who was probably 3 or 4 and was getting an injection in the back of his arm. The look on his face really got to me. It is interesting as I was diagnosed at 13 months....I was that kid a long time ago, and I have never been bothered by the i njections or any of the process. As a parent however, the picture of that little guy really got to me......I'm not sure why all of a sudden I was hit by the dramatic heartfelt sympathy for the little boy.
Well, the good news is, technology and science is making huge inroads on D and this little guy will probably be cured in his lifetime.
Keep going..................Peace, Bob

Wow, this is strong.....
