This past Saturday, March 29, 2008, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation held their annual walk in Boca Raton, FL in Mizner Park. There were approximately 3,000 people who showed up. The amount of awareness and money raised for such a great organization is amazing and exciting. American Diabetes Wholesale is proud to support the JDRF in ways such as this. It is now time for JDRF to start planning and organizing the next walk.

The weather forecast was rainy and thunderstorms, but it could not have turned out to be any more perfect of a day. The sun was out with a few clouds, and a nice little breeze every now and again. The two mile walk turned out to be successful. Approximately 8-10 ADW team members walked with family and friends.

The performances by local high school cheerleaders, bands, and singers were all outstanding. It created a great environment for a great cause.

Below are a few pictures included from the walk of members of the ADW team.

The JDRF walk this past Saturday was great. There were so many people there, probably close to about 3,000. With the minimum donation being about $100, that had to be a great outcome. Now it’s time to start collecting for the ADA walks later this year. I’ll be holding some local fundraisers for different events in the area, so if you live in the south Florida region, keep up with the posts because there may be things you want to help out with.

I’ve been controlling my eating habits the past couple of days, and my sugars have been more stable. I am trying hard to fight the hunger problems. Yogurt has been the most frequented food, and yogurt smoothies. I played tennis the other day for about 10 minutes because I caught up with my girlfriend and her mom when they were just finishing and tired out.

A1C test is next week, hopefully it turns out well as well as the JDRF walk did!
