Overwhelmed by Support of Diabetes Walk

Update: You can still make donations to my campaign through the end of the year. Just click here.

Wow! I am extremely overwhelmed, in a REALLY good way, with all the support of my family and friends in donating to my participation in the ADA Diabetes walk. In such a short time, so many generously gave to support this cause that is so personal to me. I feel so loved and encouraged by this. I had set a goal of just $250 as I knew that economic times are tough, but ended up raising $545! (More than double my goal, and more than half of my whole team's goal.) THANK YOU SO MUCH to all who donated, and for those who lifted me and the walk up in prayer! Our friends John and Summer also came out to the walk to join us in support. And though it was early to get up in the morning, it was a nice cool morning and a nice way to start a Saturday. Here are the few photos I got a chance to take at the walk. My nurse practioner, Julie, who helps me manage my diabetes, and has been with me since my diagnosis, was also participating. It was great to see her there and she gave Evan a pumpkin balloon she had been using to help her other team members locate her.
