Since the Cubs game has been postpone due hurricane Ike I thought I would deviate from my normal entry to one; ask all my readers to keep their thoughts and prayers with those affected by this terrible storm and hope that Ike’s devastation is much less than predicted.

Also, I ask them to consider helping other people who live with a disease that affects their daily life. Those people are are inflicted with Type 1 Diabetes and one of them is my hero, and probably yours, Ron Santo. For thirty years Ron Santo has been working with JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) to help find a cure for this devastating disease.

Rather than trying to explain everything about Type 1 Diabetes, Ron Santo and JDRF I ask my readers to watch this video and then go to the links provided below the video to find out more about this disease and how to help fight for the cure.

Thank you.

I will be participating in this years Walk For The Cure. To donate to JDRF by supporting my efforts or to join Team Next Century Is Here and walk with us click here
