On Saturday November 3rd I will be participating in the American Diabetes Association's "Step Out to Fight Diabetes" walk. I posted about this a few weeks ago but now I am looking for some help.
I had an idea the other day to have one sentence statements on each of the t-shirts we wear as we walk. Right now, I have about 8 people that are planning on walking for "Team Beat the Bete." I would love to get some ideas from you about what we should have on our t-shirts. (READ MORE)

Hey there! Some notable messages from the email bag this past week.
Carey
I would like to support you and your family in this campaign to find a cure for children's diabetes, most specifically for your Charlie. Your daily routine with Charlie is overwhelming to read and enough to bring a tear to ones eye as I'm sure you have shed many. I realize now how much I take for granted every day and realize, although troubling, the temper tantrums from Ricky because we won't give him anymore apple juice is nothing to get upset about. I won't be able to attend your walk but I can support your efforts. Good Luck with your walk and we'll be thinking of you.
Dave

Diatribe recently ran an interview with the JDRF's new President and CEO Jeffrey Brewer.  In the interview, as do most new Presidents,  Mr. Brewer outlined his vision for the organization.  It includes "moving away from the over reliance on the cure as the central part of our message and funding" and a new focus on improvements in day to day living for people with type 1 and seeking means of prevention for those at risk for type 1.

Last year was the first time I had ever done any sort of "walk." I've never been involved with any fund raising before. Heck, I was not even into taking care of myself which is why I call my personal blog "the B.A.D. blog" with the BAD meaning "born again diabetic."
The team name I came up year last year was "Team Beat the Bete!" and take a look at the sweet logo and t-shirts we made!
Well I have decided once again to call the troops to join me in a walk this November to raise money for diabetes research and any other "diabeticy goodness" that the American Diabetes Association deems fit. (READ MORE)

Quick! I need your help. Through work, I got the name of an account executive we deal with from the Red Bulls – the professional soccer team in New York. We're playing a bit of phone tag. He called me back and left a message asking me what exactly I had in mind as far as fundraising for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

 

The problem is I don't know what I have in mind.

 

What do I have in mind?

Yesterday, the big manila envelope arrived in my mailbox. In it? The application for summer camp at Clara Barton. Already.

Olivia loves camp, so we'll definitely be sending her again but I was dismayed to see that the price has gone up. It's now $2,225 to go for two weeks. Last year it was around $1900. That's a big jump.

I understand why they charge so much - the staff is huge there. The buildings are in excellent condition (way better than any camp I ever attended, that's for sure!) and the grounds are very attractive. Because they have such a large medical staff, I feel really secure sending Olivia there year after year.

Plus, the camp is really great about granting camperships. They also send out information telling you how you can put together your own fund raisers and how to solicit organizations like The Lions Club or Kiawanis to help subsidize some of the cost.

OK, so I haven’t raised a dime yet, but there are a couple things in the works. I contacted our local coffeehouse in town to see if they’d be interested in hosting a small benefit show. It will need to be small. The coffeehouse is about the size of my kitchen.

 

We haven’t hashed out all the details yet, but a couple friends and I would play some music for a few hours. I guess we’ll ask for a contribution at the door. We’ve played the coffeehouse before and they got my name wrong on their website. "Performing tonight! Mary Potash."

 

So, I think it’s only appropriate for us to go with it when promoting our fundraising show.

 

"Mary Potash Gives Back."

 

"Mary Potash and Friends Fight Diabetes."

So word is getting around a little that I moonlight as a portrait photographer. (::doing the happy dance::) I was pleasantly surprised to get an email from a co-worker on Monday asking if I could do some Photoshop work for an image he wants to use for his Twitter page dedicated to marathon runners for Team Diabetes for the P.F. Chang's marathon in Phoenix.

 

Which naturally turned into him trying to recruit me to run or walk a marathon or half marathon. "Then," he said, "you can be part of the one-tenth of one percent of people who can say they've participated in a marathon."

 

Ugh. I loathe running. I always have. And the thought of even walking a half marathon (13 miles!!!) makes my head spin. Could I do it? Yes. Do I want to do it? No. A mini-marathon? I'm all over that.
