A Great Cause: JDRF

Posted on September 11, 2008 by Lynsie

Hello All,

Last year I volunteered to represent the company I work for, MillerWade Group, at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s (JDRF) Walk to Cure Diabetes. It was a really fun event, but I was even more impressed with the foundation– the people who run it and the fact that 90% of the donation goes toward research.

This year my boss chose me to be our company’s Team Captain. I know…. pretty funny, huh? We walk the 5K as a team next Saturday the 20th in Orem.

Part of my duties as a Team Captain is to raise money. If you happen to be so willing as to donate -say, maybe $10- to my team, I would be very grateful to you. I have a goal to raise the most $ in my office.

I would also love it if you wanted to walk with me next Saturday. The event is geared toward families with fun things for kids to do and lots of food.

Here’s the link if you’re interested in helping me: http://walk.jdrf.org/. To the left of the screen on their home page is the place to “Donate to a Walker”. Please be sure to choose “MillerWade Group” as the team when completing your donation.

Type I diabetes is diagnosed every 3 seconds in North America. They are discovering and implementing amazing things through research.

Thanks a ton!
