Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walkathon
Julie Helps
On Sunday, June 10, the Transitions team and their families will participate in a walkathon to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Many Canadians know very little about the seriousness of diabetes. The 2001 ÏWalk for the CureÓ provides an excellent opportunity to raise awareness about diabetes and to help raise the funds necessary to continue essential JDRF funded research. JDRF is the world's largest funder of diabetes research, with 80 cents out of every dollar raised going towards research for a cure. Insulin is not a cure!
We are now accepting pledges towards this cause. Any pledge amount would be greatly appreciated. It is our goal to raise enough money to earn an incentive prize which will then be donated to a local women's shelter. Transitions Consulting Group will match all monies pledged to the Transitions Team.
You may make donations by credit card or cheque. We would appreciate receiving all pledges by June 10th in order for them to be counted towards the incentive prizes. Please make donation cheques payable to JDRF. If you prefer to make your donation by credit card, please call Jodi Hanson at 1-800-345-5157 with your information. Income tax receipts will be issued for any amount over $20.00.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance, for your generous donation to this VERY worthy cause.
