Today, I signed up with my local JDRF chapter as an individual walker for the 2010 Walk To Cure Diabetes in my area next month. I am SO excited! I’ve never done a walk before so I am getting really excited about this one. I am hoping to have my hubby go with me and maybe take some pictures and things. Who knows, I may even to a vlog post from there!

Of course, when you sign up, they ask you to set a goal amount for money you’re going to try to raise. It said most individuals aim for $100, but I’m going to try for $200. If not, that’s okay. I would like to at least raise $100 so I can get a T-shirt though. And if not, that’s okay too. The fellowship of other diabetics and families of diabetics will be worth more to me than the T-shirt. It’s such a wonderful thing to be able to meet and talk with people face to face about diabetes, get to know them outside of diabetes, and possibly form friendships. I hope I do make a few local friends, as I did last night.

Also, I have added a button on the left sidebar of my page. It has the picture like the one above. If you click it, it will take you to my JDRF Walk page where you can see how much I’ve raised and how much more is needed. And, if you’d like, you can also click the “Donate” button and it will take you to another page where you can securely make a donation for me to go towards my total goal. I understand that a lot of you have local chapters of your own to support, so I completely understand if you don’t want to. I’ve still got a month to go until the event, so wish me luck that I’ll raise enough by then.
