Cranes 582-606

Cranes 582-606 are all Giulia.  My mommy was sent pictures of Giulia performing in the nutcracker. She looked so pretty.  Her brother Diego was in it as well.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.  I have some great news, but I'm not going to share it just yet.  I have a new chip in, it replaces my old one.  The JDRF Walk for a Cure is May 12, 2012. My whole family are going to walk.  I think our name is going to be Team Giulia.  For Giulia.

Fast Update from Lizzie's mom

Jenny here, just wanted to update everyone real fast...
Lizzie has not abandoned her project...just the opposite. She has been hard at work making cranes, it's just been crazy here lately. She has over 200 cranes waiting to be posted (look for them starting tonight hopefully)
More great news coming soon!

This month is Diabetes Awareness Month. If you tell one person, and that one person tells another and so on, before you know it everyone will know! And once everyone knows, then we will be closer to a cure! I'm only $74.00 away from $1,000.00. Thank you everyone that has helped so far.

I know it's been awhile since I updated last. I'm very sorry about that. My mommy's computer quit working and she couldn't get anything loaded. But she's got a new one, so that means I'll be back here every day again. This Friday is the Fall Festival at my school. I can't wait! We might be bringing my friend with us. My school was also picked to host the New Orleans Saints Junior Training camp. That was last week. I had a lot of fun!

Next month is Diabetes awareness month. There is not enough awareness about diabetes and the damage it does. I'm only $76.00 away from my initial goal of $1,000.00 for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I hope I can reach it next month. I've already got more ideas about how to keep raising, but you'll have to wait to find out. Please spread the word about Diabetes awareness month. We will find a cure, but we need to let people know why we need it so bad.

If you are in the Mobile Alabama area this weekend, and you want to support Diabetes Research, you can go to The Fresh Market. It’s holding its “Hope Floats” Sidewalk Sale on September 9 through September 11, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. There will be root beer floats, hot dogs and ice cream sundaes each for a $2 donation and gourmet cookies each for a $1 donation. Sugar-free root beer floats and sundaes are also available. The Fresh Market will donate 100 percent of the money raised over the three-day sale of these items directly to JDRF to support its mission to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications. I think we are going to try to go on Sunday. It sounds like a lot of fun.
I also wanted to let you know what we are up to with money raised for Cranes4aCure. $881.00. that is a lot of money (my chip in only shows online donations) Thank you to everyone who has helped so far.

Last week we went on vacation. We've never really gone on a vacation before. It was a lot of fun. We went to Tennessee. We stayed in a cabin in the Smokey Mountains. This is me on the tram up to Ober Gatlinburg. It was like a little amusement park at the top of the mountain.
Me and Emily rode the ski lift up even higher.

Jack rode the water slide with me.

We also got to drive around The Smokey Mountain National Park and saw two black bears. That was really neat. Mommy is going to post more pictures on her blog later. I wish we could go back someday.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, we are very close to our goal!
