Exciting News!

I realize all of my readers might not be dealing with juvenile diabetes, but as you all know it is most dear to my heart as my five-year old son suffers from juvenile type 1 diabetes. I wanted to start this blog as an outreach to other families affected by diabetes because if it weren't for a few special families there for me in the beginning I am not sure how I would have otherwise coped. Now, I am ready to give back. (Although, admittedly I still need lots of support myself! :) Don't we all?) So, tomorrow night I will be attending the JDRF Georgia Chapter's "Stories of Hope" fundraising Gala in Atlanta, and it will be my first volunteer position! I am very excited! In addition, the volunteer who is in charge of the support group and monthly meet-ups in our area needs someone to cover in her place this summer, and I was asked to take the job! Now, what does all this mean for you? Lots of things! First, I will be planning fun activities at least once a month for us to network and meet. Second, I will be on the frontlines with access to any new information the JDRF releases or fun activities that I can then pass on to you. And, third, it should better equip me overall. I hope I can learn tons of information, touch someone, and become an even better blogger for you all! I am getting warm fuzzies just thinking about being in the room tomorrow night when thousands of dollars will be raised for find a cure! I believe there is one! Won't you believe with me?
