As many of you know, Cara was diagnosed five years ago this week with Type 1 diabetes. To say this has had a big impact on her life is an understatement--she wears an insulin pump round the clock, tests her blood many times a day and lives with the constant spectre of 'going low' or 'going high'. As great as the cost to her is the cost to society. Her medical supplies and pump cost thousands and if she devlops complications as she grows older, the cost is absolutely staggering.  We are trying to break this cycle by helping JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), which is the most effective funder of diabetes research in the world find a cure. On the way, there have been many improvements to technology and treatment that have immeasurably helped Cara and  have resulted from the research.

Please join us on Sunday 12 September in our own beautiful Regents Park for a 5 km walk. Also, please make a donation to our just Giving site. We only fund raise once per year and this will be your contribution for 2010.  Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

all our love, Ashley, Bruce, Dylan, Kyle, Cara and of course, Bagel, who will be trotting along with us despite having had an operation last week.
