Dad Hello! This year, I'll be taking part in JDRF's Ride to Cure Diabetes in Death Valley, along with my son Chad and hundreds of other Riders across the country, as we try to reach our goal of raising $3.2 million.

We have completed the 105 mile ride 4 times; in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005; taking a break in 2006. But we are back again - looking to raise $4,000 (a total of $8,000 together as Team Chad & Dad).

Why? Well the answer is simple - we want a cure for diabetes; a cure for Chad and a cure for his sister Melissa as well as the millions of others who have to deal with this insidious disease.

Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people - a large and growing percentage of them are children.

There is some good news, though. For the first time, scientists are predicting that we CAN expect to see a cure well within our lifetime!

Now, more than ever, you can make a crucial difference. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible? Together, we can make the cure a reality!

Please donate today.

scott dutton	$250.00	09/29/2007	Charlie, this donation is being made because on the morning of September 14th you went out of your way to help a stranger when 99.9% of the population would have kept going. I can't thank you enough and even more than the value of the contents of my notepad, you confirmed a long standing believe that I have held in "paying it forward" and the profound effect that a person can have on the world when they care about others as much as they care about themselves.
