My name is Lizzie, I'm 10 years old and in the 4th grade.
I like origami and drawing, and littlest pet shop. I love Hello Kitty too.
I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. My little sister Becca gets her finger poked sometimes to make sure her sugar level is ok. My mommy has some friends whose kids are sick with diabetes, and I wanted to do something to help, so my mommy and I came up with the Cranes 4 a Cure. I want to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. My sister is lucky, she doesn't have diabetes, but a lot of kids do, and it isn't fair. Anyone can get juvenile diabetes, you don't have to have a family history. I think they need to find a cure fast so the kids who have it can be needle free, I don't like needles.

So I guess you want to know what Cranes 4 a Cure is.
It is said that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish. Sometimes relatives or friends fold the cranes for someone who has an illness in hopes for recovery or a long life.

My goal is to raise $1,000.00. For every dollar I raise, I am going to make an origami crane and put the name of the person who sent me that dollar on the wing. Then I am going to string all the cranes together and give it to the juvenile diabetes foundation with all the money I raise. Then my wish will be to find a cure. Please help me help those kids with this bad disease. My mommy says she will take a picture of every crane I make and post it here for everyone to see. For more information, please email my mommy, her name is Jenny. A dollar isn't a lot, but it can make a difference. I hope to get some pictures of kids you can help soon.
Thank you.

Cranes 58 - 60


Cranes 58, 59 and 60 are possible because of Delores, Melanie and Cris.
It's been a busy week around my house this week. I'm so behind on photos. These were actually for yesterday but my mommy has been sick. I didn't forget a picture of my brothers and sisters, I just can't get them to sit still. Mommy let me have the little camera to take pictures, maybe I will try again tonight.

I do have some exciting news to share though. Next Wednesday WEAR is coming to my school to interview me for a story for the news. How cool is that? I can't wait. The other thing I wanted to share is that you don't have to put blogspot after cranes4acure anymore. you can just type Cranes4aCure.com and it brings you right to this page. My daddy bought me a domain name. Thank you everyone who has donated. See you tomorrow!
