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 251-255

Cranes 251-253 are Claralynn, Billy and Jerrod. Thanks!

Cranes 254-255 are Alyssa and Jeff. Thanks everyone. I meant to post these cranes last night, but my daddy and mommy took Morris, Becca and me to the mall. We got to use our coupons we got from report cards and got a cookie from a cookie place and then went to Moe's and got free dinner. We also got to look around a couple stores. We found one store that has a lot of Hello Kitty stuff, it was fun. Then we went to the store and got popsicles.
Today we had chocolate chip waffles for breakfast and mommy showed us how to make butter. My arms hurt from shaking it, but it was neat to watch it change from cream to butter.
