Rebecca's Battle

[EastCheats]

I like that campfire idea

The address is just above the photo in the original post.......I will try and edit it so that it will be easier to see.

Thanks

I'm glad we moved from our battle to unify for a worthy cause, Breeze. She'll have my support. Count on it.

This is my son, Jake. He's 10 and was diagnosed with Type I when he was 15 months old. He's way too young to remember life before diabetes, but like Rebecca he just lives with it and doesn't let it get in the way. I wish I could take it from him, but that prayer will never be answered. Rebecca and Jake will live with Type I until there is a cure, and the only way to get to a cure is through funding. Please donate whatever you can.

Thanks Aqua....I appreciate your support.

There is a cold beer awaiting you when we get this East/West thing settled!

Hi Gang,

This is my 16 yr old daughter, Rebecca. She is a team Captain for this year's 32 mile bike ride as a fund raiser for the American Diabetes Association.

She is actively seeking a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, having been diagnosed with the disease at age 7, and fighting that daily battle. Also, she participates in studies and donates blood regularly for research at the Barbara Davis Diabetes Research Institute in Denver. So she is not sitting around, waiting for someone else to solve this puzzle, she is on the front line. It's kinda cool that while she is giving blood for research, two stories up at the Research Institute, mice are actually being used, trying to find a cure for this disease.

Last year was her first try at this kind of fund raiser. I am proud to say that mainly through donations from East and West pilots, she raised over $11,500......she was the second highest individual fund raiser in the state of Colorado. Thanks so much!!! Of course, USAir coprorate would not donate a penny. It just shows that the human spirit is alive and well.

If you would like to donate......and even $5 is much appreciated, you can click on the ADA link below, using a credit or debit card. If you use this method, ADA will email your tax deductable receipt to you. If you prefer, you can mail a check made out to ADA to the address below.

Thanks so much for your help.
