This weekend is an Ice Flyers game. They are donating some of the ticket sales to JDRF. It's nice that they can help find a cure. Can you? May 12 is the JDRF walk for a cure. I'm going to walk in it with a lot of other people. If you have any spare change you want to donate to my team, I'd love that. All money collected goes to helping find a cure for diabetes. Tomorrow my daddy is going to the school to talk to the principal about having a kids walk-a-thon to raise money for JDRF. I just know we will find a cure one day. I hope it's soon.
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 763 - 794
This weekend was Mardi Gras. I didn't get to go to any parades, but Emily and Jack got to be in one. My daddy brought us home a lot of beads. Still waiting to find that cure for Diabetes. The walk is getting closer and closer. I have been telling a lot of people about it, and why it's so important. We have 20 people already walking with us. I can't wait!

Cranes 748-762
How was your Valentine's day? Mine was fun. My daddy got us a little chocolate and some stickers and fingernail polish. Mine was Hello Kitty. And a Hello Kitty change purse. Monday I stayed home sick. My mommy is starting to string all the cranes together. It's a lot! My mommy also fixed the diabetes walk button. We have 20 people on Team Giulia now. I can't wait to see if we can reach our goal this time. See you tomorrow.

Cranes 697-701 are Pierce, Logan, Stephanie, Gabriella and Cuong.
I've been trying to finish making my cranes. I think I need more paper. Mommy says she is going to get me some this weekend.
This is our new puppy Rosie. I really like her. She doesn't cry at night and likes to play with us.

Cranes 682-696
Cranes 682-686 are Kathleen, Allison, Zach, Luke and Chy
Cranes 687-691 are Zach, Luke, Shane, Hettie and Cuong
Cranes 692-696 are Gabriella, Zach, Tommy, Pamela and Dona.
Lots of things have been going on here lately. I finished my project for PATS class. Everyone liked it. My mommy and daddy went to New Orleans for a conference last weekend, so me and my brothers and sisters stayed with my nana and papa. It was fun. Becca wanted to go swimming. Me and Morris started Hebrew school. So far it's not that hard. The best news though is we are getting a new puppy. Nothing can replace Sally, and I still miss her. But my papa and nana are letting us have one of their puppys. I'm so excited!
