Hello! This year, I'll be taking part in JDRF's Ride to Cure Diabetes in Whitefish/August, along with hundreds of other Riders across the country, as we try to reach our goal of raising $3.2 million.

Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of peopleýa large and growing percentage of them 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!





Help JDRF—and me—find a cure for
diabetes:
