Juvenile Diabetes

Almost two years ago my nephew Ashton was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes. While it is treatable there is still no cure and Ashton checks his blood sugar levels between 8-10 times daily and gets about 5-6 injections daily as well. They have learned to make it just another part of life, but it is certainly something that you have to care for each and every day. In recent weeks other members of our family have been diagnosed as well and just point out how far reaching this disease truly is. Each year my sister's family has done a walk for a cure to help get Ashton involved in a good cause and raise money for research to find a cure. One amazing thing they have learned is that in Ashton's lifetime researchers expect to find a cure for this disease! In hopes to make that as soon as possible I am including this link so if there is anyone who happens to come across this page and wants to donate they can go to his donation page(all money raised goes directly to research to find a cure):http://walk.jdrf.org/walker.cfm?id=87593866
