Every year I do something like this, not sure if I've shared with Obner recently.

In past years I have done the AIDS Walk, I've done the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics, volunteered for a hospitality house and a bunch of other stuff, but this time around my connection to the effort is a lot more direct since my wife, my father-in-law, and a large handful of friends and co-workers are diabetic.

I'm doing JDRF Walk To Cure Diabetes this time around, So, I'd you'd like to contribute, it would be much appreciated. :)

Yours truly,

Bort!

My friend had a cat with it, but then it didn't have it any more. So my friend had no use for the syringes and other supplies. His co-worker did though, so they met in the parking lot one day and exchanged syringes and maybe some medication. He wondered if a cop passed by and saw this "deal going down" if the cop would believe the story about his cat with diabetes.

toots - thanks so much, you rock

twilight - i'll think of you while i'm sturggling through this 5k.

This is 5 days away! If you were thinking "Maybe I'll sponsor Mark later." It is now later!

We kicked butt. Weather was beautiful. Raised a bunch of money thanks to my sponsors, and I figure the other 800+ people there did too, so overall the walk was a success! Thanks bunches.

Here's me with my good friend who has T1D
