My Interests

I'd like to meet:

MAKE A DONATION!!!!!!!!!!JDRF is closer now than ever to finding a cure. Your donation will make a dramatic impact as JDRF moves life altering research out of the lab and into human clinical trials.Typically, more than 80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research-related education.Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes children suddenly and requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin through a pump.By supporting JDRF's mission to find a cure you won't only be saving children, you will be saving childhoods.CLICK HERE AND DONATE WHAT EVER YOU CAN!! EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS!!http://walk.jdrf.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=extranet.pe rsonalpage&confirmid=86817334
