I've posted about this before, but I'm so close I just need a bit more help to reach my commitment.
Background:
I'm a Dad of 5 kids. My 6 year old daughter happens to be a type I Diabetic (commonly referred to as "Juvenile Diabetes").
Type I Diabetes is a life long affliction. It is not something you "outgrow", it isn't cause by being fat or eating too much sugar (in fact you would be hard pressed to find even a slightly overweight type I Diabetic due to the effect of the high blood sugar episodes).
As such, I commited to helping raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation by riding 105 miles in Death Valley, California on October 18, 2008.
How to help:
Visit my daughter's dedication/contribution page at: www.rideformadison.com
As you will see, I'm less than $500 away from reaching my goal. Anything you can donate is appreciated. Heck, don't donate but send it to people/companies that you think may would be great as well.
If all goes real well I will far exceed my goal (I win a green jersey if I raise the most funds...unlikely, but a worthy goal in itself).
Thanks for everyones support/assistance/well wishes!
Jason
