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.

Another Summer gone...

Believe it or not, I'm still here.  I am still trying to raise money for diabetes research.  My aunt in England just requested cranes, but this time she wants them, so I am going to make her them and send them, but also make cranes for the cure.  I'm thinking about what I'm going to do for my Bat Mitzvah, and I'm pretty sure it will involve cranes...or something origami.  I can't wait!  Next week I start middle school, I'm kind of nervous.  This is all my brothers and sisters at my oldest sister's graduation.
As always, a dollar isn't a lot, but it goes a long way...please help me help others.

125 more

Sorry it's been so long.  We have had a really busy year so far.  I finally got a chance to post these pictures for you.  These are 125 Cranes.  They are all for Lisa.  I did something different this time though.  These don't have any names on them.  Lisa is picking them up from me sometime next week and they are going to be displayed at her sons wedding.  Neat huh.



I still have more cranes I'm working on.  I'm glad I always have something to do.  The walk for a cure is coming up really fast too!  We're doing that again this year.  Our team is still Team Giulia.  I also got a new donation page.  Remember it just takes a dollar, what it would cost to get a candy bar in the check out line, to help.  We will find a cure.

I'm Still Here

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still here.  And I'm still doing Cranes!  I am working on another 125.  Our school had our Kids for a Cure Walk in November.  It was a lot of fun.  We brought the big shoe my daddy made and put it out on the track.  Everyone thought it was cool.  We raised a lot of money for JDRF.  We are having our second annual Diabetes walk for a cure in May.  We are Team Giulia again.  I can't wait.  My mommy needs to charge her battery on her camera, but I promise to post some pictures soon.  Until then, don't forget if you have a spare dollar to donate to my chip in.  100%  of donations go straight to JDRF to help find a cure for Type 1 diabetes.  We can find a cure, but it's going to take all of us!
