Guess I should update . . .

I didn't realize that it's been over a week since I've updated! Yikes! Guess I'll blame it on this nasty head cold I have. Seriously, I am sick of being sick!!! Had a nasty viral infection for 2 weeks, now this head cold. UGH!!

The JDRF walk last week was AMAZING!!! I can't even begin to describe how wonderful it felt to walk in unity with 1000's of people all working for the same goal! Our team was absolutely INCREDIBLE & we raised over $4500!!!! WHOOHOO!!!! Our team shirts were the best by far (no, I'm not biased - LOL!!) & we received many compliments!! I would just like to say a HUGE thanks to everyone who supported us. Whether it be with thoughts, prayers, positive vibes & of course donations!! It's such a warm, loving feeling knowing how many people care & how people are with us!! I love you all!!! VERY MUCH!!

Here are a few photos from the walk:

Today . . .

We WALK FOR THE CURE!!! Our Team Jilli-Bean with 1000's of others. Walking in unity to show support, love, & compassion!! We'll all be there for the same reason, but we'll each have our own thoughts, our own story, our own hurt. If you have some extra prayers & positive vibes, please send them our way!!

Thanks!! Peace & love . . . always!

FUND THE CURE!!!

Countdown is on!!!!

Only 1 week until our walk!! This is a post my daughter posted on her blog & I wanted to share it here:


Hi Everyone - I cannot believe it's almost time for our walk!! What's even harder to believe is that is been almost a year since Jillian was diagnosed.
Since her diagnosis, it is safe to say she has had well over 1300 finger pokes and at least 700 injections of insulin.

And she's just 2 years old.

Her fingers look like a pin cushion. You can see tiny little holes in all her fingers. Well, mostly her left hand fingers as that's the hand she prefers we check on.

She can't eat a meal without first having her blood sugar checked.

She starts and ends each day with a blood sugar check, and now there are some nights we have to check her sugar levels at 2:00AM.

We are walking to support funding to find a cure. A cure that could end all of what she has to go through or even reduce it. Each year more than 15,000 children are diagnosed with diabetes in the U.S. That's 40 children per day. No child should have to go through this.

I know things are rough in the economy. Trust me, I know.

But every dollar counts.

Every prayer counts.

Please help support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk to Find a Cure.
