A Date to Celebrate!
Thursday, June 17, 2010 at 7:51AM I knew I wanted to do a walk this year. I have walked for the ADA twice in the past but this year I was determined to walk for the JDRF.
I looked up the local walks this year and all of them were on Sundays. It’s not easy for me to get away on Sundays because I lead the band at church so I was hoping to find one on a Saturday that I could attend.
That was when I saw it. A walk on Saturday October 2nd in Ontario California. Perfect!
Not only was it perfect because it was a Saturday and it was local, but because October 2nd is the day I was diagnosed. AND this year will be my 20 year anniversary.
AWESOME!
So I have decided that not only am I going to walk but I am going to celebrate. I am going to throw a Diabetes party for anyone who wants to walk with and be a part of Team Ninjabetic.
And that means you!
If you want to join the team and walk on October 2nd with me and many others please sign up on the JDRF website and join! We can raise money for research, raise awareness, and raise our heart rates as we walk and then get our dance on at the party. DJ, Food, Fun, and who knows what else but it’s gonna be a party and you should be there!
And October is hopefully far enough away for you to make plans to come out. I promise it will be a good time.
If you can’t make it to walk or to the party, would you be willing to donate towards my goal? Here is a link to my fundraising page.
Thanks!

I'll be donating in July! Great way to mark 20 years.
I wish I could be there! I am excited for you! 20 years! Make sure you party like it's 1999.
If God blesses me with a job/means to fly out there/time to fly out there, I would be there for sure. It should be a GIANT MEGA PARTY.
I bet October is a great month for a visit to California. Hmmmm . . .
Dude, I am two plane tickets away from being there! It's going to happen brother!
