I'm walking, yes indeed.

Did I tell you we are walking in a 5 mile walk-a-thon this Saturday? My bad.

Several years ago close friends of ours was given the devastating news that their 6 year old son had juvenile diabetes. Thomas is an amazing kid and entertains us so much with his antics. He is like a little Alton Brown - same hair, same glasses and same analytical persona. He is doing amazingly well and has adjusted better than some adults I know (ouch stepped on my own damn foot).

Every year since then, they have participated in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes as Team Thomas.

We have always financially supported this effort, but this year for the first time - we are walking.

Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people - a large and growing percentage of them children.

First off - a thank you to all those who have already donated towards this great cause either through me or another walker they know - it all goes to the same great cause.

Secondly, if you want to donate towards our pain, oops I mean this fantastic cause - click here. Every donation is appreciated by us and by them.
