This Saturday, my daughter Lily and I will be taking a lengthy stroll in the Walk to Cure Diabetes, organized by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. One of Lily’s best friends has a teenaged brother who was diagnosed at age 2 with juvenile diabetes, and he’s been dealing with it (way better than I ever could) for all these years. So we’re strapping on our tennis shoes and taking part is this nationwide event, to help fund research to end it once and for all.

I imagine you know someone with this lousy disease. If you’re so moved, you can sponsor us by making a donation (of any amount; I know times are tough for most people these days) here:
