Team Zane - its not too late to donate!!

Each year, 13,000 children are diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (approximately 40 children every day). As most of you know, on December 20, 2010 our 3-year-old son Zane was one of them. The day Zane was diagnosed was a day we will NEVER forget, as it was one of the hardest days of our life. We need to find a cure for this disease and in order to do that there needs to be money to fund the research. One big annual fundraiser for Type 1 Diabetes is the JDRF Nordstrom Beat the Bridge to Beat Diabetes. A large part of Beat the Bridge is for team members to run or walk a mapped out course around the University of Washington, but the biggest part of Beat the Bridge is for team members to raise money for JDRF (the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). We have put together a team this year in honor of Zane...Team Zane! Our team will be running/walking on May 15, 2011!! If you are able, please help us raise the necessary money to fund the research to find a cure for this disease, so hopefully no other child has to go through what Zane and a million other kiddos are going through. We'd love for this to happen in Zane's lifetime!! Any and all donations are helpful, even just $5.00, it all ads up!! 100% of the money raised goes to the research! Follow these easy instructions to donate! go to http://www.beatthebridge.org/ click on Donate Now click "Search for a Team" and search for Team Zane donate Please do not feel obligated to donate, it is just my job as Zane's mom and as the Team Captain to reach out for donation!! Thank you so much, Josh, Lisa, Zane & Landon
