Never before have I written a post asking my readers to donate money, but for my niece I would do anything. Â Last Christmas my sister’s youngest child was diagnosed with Type-1 Diabetes (Juvenile Diabetes). Â I am so thankful that my sister recognized the signs and brought her in to the ER when she did…they said it was critical…her sugar was astronomically high. Â They spent quite some time in the Pediatric ICU and have been working on regulating her situation since.
She sure has been a brave and tough little girl, but a diagnosis like this really does change your life. Â My sister and brother-in-law found a Pediatric Diabetes Specialist at UCSF to handle her care (thank goodness for that!) and are there right now for another all day appointment as I type this.
Next weekend is the JDRF One Walk in Reno and my niece’s Girl Scout Troop decided they wanted to do something to show support for the friend that they love so much; they formed “Team Awesomeness” to rally around her and raise money for research to try and end this disease. Â The research is so promising and it is possible to find a cure.
If you are able to make a donation, I thank you from the bottom of your heart. Â If you are unable to, perhaps you could leave a comment with some words of encouragement for my little munchkin.

Thank you so much for all of the support you have shown me through the years…I am so grateful.
