A little help?

I’d like to start this all-too-rare blog post by saying to all my friends and co-workers who have been gloating presumptuously over the “demise” of Donovan McNabb: HA!

And then I’d like to ask for your help in a cause that both Donovan and I hold dear, which is defeating diabetes. On October 28, I’ll be taking part in a local walk to raise money for juvenile diabetes awareness and research.

If you happen to know me in real life and want to pass a donation along directly to me please feel free – I promise I won’t keep more than half for myself ;). Otherwise, you can go to my personal fund-raising page by clicking here and donating online. My fund-raising goal will be $500.00 this year. It’s a little on the ambitious side, but I know a lot of generous folks, so I’m aiming high.

Once again, if you’d like to help, get a hold of me in real life or click here. And if you’d like to enroll for one of this fall’s fund-raising walks (or rides), click on over to the JDRF website.

Thanks!

I’m in! Best of luck and thanks for doing this.

Thanks for the support, Frank. I’m finding the people I’ve contacted and spoken to so far are quite generous (as I suspected).

Most people aren’t all that generous, so count yourself lucky you know some who are. Still I think its great what your doing, so I might make a small donation. Good luck!

I don’t always agree with you, but I see that you are objective in your
postings. Despite the differences I still enjoy reading your posts and I
often learn even when our viewpoints are different.
