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!

Cranes!

I have decided to start my Cranes again.  I like the sneakers, but the Cranes are fun to make, and they look really neat hung.  I'm going to aim for another $1,000.00 for JDRF.  The 2nd annual Walk for a Cure is in April, so I hope I can raise that much between now and then.  I raised a little over $300.00 in sneaker sales, so thank you to everyone who helped.  Please pass my blog around and get the word out.  We still need a cure!

Lots of people to thank!

It's been too long.  I've had a busy summer.  I wanted to thank those who continue to help me raise money and awareness.  We still need a cure!

Thank you Jessica, James, Karleen, Becky, Lori, Tammy, Colin, Logan, David,

I went to Art Camp this summer.  It was a lot of fun.  This is one of the things I did. 

Still here

Mommy said to tell everyone its her fault I'm behind.  We have been really busy this summer, but that doesn't mean raising awareness isn't part of it.  I'm still raising money too.  I forgot to tell you that my school is also doing a Walk for Kids next year.  We were going to do it before school got out, but decided not to rush it.  Mommy took more pictures of me holding more sneakers, but she forgot where she uploaded them to.  I went to art camp and had a lot of fun.  Today we are going to a wedding and going to see fireworks in the Bay.  Happy 4th of July!

I am still here!!!

I had my bakesale in April.  It was a lot of fun and I raised $250.00 for JDRF from the goodies I helped make and sold.

 We had our first ever Walk For a Cure on May 12.  It was a lot of fun.  Our team was Team Giulia.   My daddy made that big sneaker out of wood.

The whole Team Giulia (except for a couple people that couldn't be found for the picture)

And I got glasses.   I'm also behind on posting my sneaker pictures, so I need to get caught up.  Thanks to Melissa, Mr. Farmer, Teresa Pace and Chuck.  I'll try to post some every day.  I'm still raising money, just because the walk is over doesn't mean I stopped.  Just click on the chipin...every dollar makes a difference.

Kickoff Party

 Thursday night was the kickoff party for the first ever Walk for a Cure in Pensacola.  It was a lot of fun, and lots of people came.  This is where I gave Ms. Kathleen the check.  She was so excited.

 Then she gave me a huge thank you card signed by everyone that was there and some really pretty flowers.  They are on the dining room table now and still smell good.

And these are my Cranes.  All 1,000 of them.  Everyone thought they were pretty.

We are still looking for a cure though.  Every little bit helps.  On April 7th, if you are in Pensacola, please stop by the elementary school.  I will be there having a bake sale for JDRF and there is also going to be a Relay for Life garage sale.  I already saw some of the stuff, it's really neat.  

Cranes 971-1,000

Cranes 971-1,000  are all Giulia.  Although I have never met Giulia, I feel like I know her so much.  Someday I hope I get to meet her.  Giulia doesn't let diabetes get her down, but she is waiting for a cure.  Just because I've reached 1,000 cranes, doesn't mean I'm going to stop.  If you think about it, $1,000.00 isn't really a lot when you think about what is needed to help find a cure.  That's why it is so important to keep people informed and raise awareness as well as money.  Every little bit helps.  My blog isn't going anywhere, please keep following and see what a difference $1.00 can make in the lives of people like Giulia, living with diabetes, and the many people that will be diagnosed with diabetes this year.  With your support, we will find a cure.  I hope it's soon.
