On your mark..........Get set..........

It's almost time to GO! The Diabetes walk is quickly approaching and thanks to people who read my blog, I've raised $700.00. Pretty amazing. Especially considering my initial goal was $100.00 The walk is October 3rd and it's not too late to donate.

I've had 2 stark reminders of the devastating effects diabetes can have on a family in just the last week alone. One was an invitation to go to breakfast to celebrate the birthday of my good friend, Cheryl. Only Cheryl wasn't there because she died last year at the age of 49, from complications of her life long diabetes.

Sunday, another good friend, Amy, was on her way over to the house when instead she called to tell me her brother in law was being life-flighted to Louisville for burns. He had suffered a seizure and fell into a fire of burning shingles at a home remodeling job. Diabetes didn't cause him to have a seizure but his severe diabetes will make his healing from these burns extremely difficult and a much longer process than it would have been otherwise. Bobby could use your prayers.

October 3rd is fast approaching but there are still a few paychecks left between now and then. If you would like to donate, you can just click HERE.
