I am doing the diabetes step out walk on this coming Saturday downtown to help raise money to find a cure for diabetes. If anyone would like to donate any amount of money (it would be greatly appreicated), leave your e-mail in here and I'll email you my page where you can donate. Your donation is tax deductible.Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors appear to play roles. There are 23.6 million Americans living with diabetes, a disease that is outpacing heart disease, cancer and AIDS. If we don't act now, one in three children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime
