Walk 2008
The JDRF Walk to Cure 2008 will be held on March 1st, and Amber’s Awesome Angels are going to be there! We’d like you to be there, too! Walk day will be pretty much like last year, from 8 to 11:30, with food and drink in Capital Square and play stuff in the Convention Complex. You can join our team by clicking on Join This Team on Amber’s walk page!
The theme is this year is
High School Musical, with the slogan, “We’re all in this together!” It’s one of the lines from those two movies that has really stuck with us. We are all in this together, helping each other out when we need advice or when we just need someone to complain to. We have to live with the daily management of this disease, and we understand the frustrations of trying to figure it out. We are a big family, and that’s the best thing about the walk, it’s more than 7,000 brothers and sisters, all in the same family for just a few hours of one day.
Our organized fundraising for this year started last fall, when we sold game programs at Iowa State footballs games. We worked at two different games, and with the help of a few friends we managed to raise about $550!
We also have our can and bottle redemption fundraiser going on year round as well, and we make hundreds annually from that. Our annual Christmas/New Years neighborhood can drive was this weekend, we had a good sized donation! Our neighbors are awesome with helping support us!
In July we had our yearly garage sale, where we put all the profits to our walk team.
Kim also hosted a Pampered Chef party in November, and she donated all of her host proceeds to our walk team as well.
So as of today, 5 January, we currently have over $1100 raised, with more to be deposited!
But we need your help. Diabetes sucks, and we need to do whatever we can to raise money to find a cure! Please be part of our family for Walk Day!
