  • "Racing for a Cure"

    I can't believe it is once again time for our annual JDRF walk for a cure. For those who don't know my son has type 1 diabetes and was diagnosed over 11 1/2 years ago just two weeks before he turned 5. It is hard to believe he is 16 and a Junior in high school this year, something we thought would happen. When he was diagnosed, his blood sugar was 485 and his little veins were shutting down. We had to have a specialist come in to start two IV's, one in each arm. We were told to pray that he made it through the first day and night, if he did it would be a miracle. Well, here he is today, a teenager who loves computers and video games. Chris is also a Youth Ambassador for JDRF.

    Our walk is this Saturday, March 1st and we have been so busy with activities at school that I have not gotten on here to post about it. Our school's boys basketball team is headed to state in Lakeland, our first time and we are the favorite to win. Along with that I do alot with the Junior class with fundraisers and also the PTF (Parent Teacher Fellowship) President. So truly I am a full time volunteer with absolutely no pay.

    I am writing to ask for donations for my son's walk team, Christopher's Conquerors. We have until the end of April to turn in all of our money we collect. Donations that I have now will be turned in on Saturday at the walk but Chris always tries to raise $1,000 to get a special recognition, "The Golden Sneaker Award". He has $540 raised so far.

    If you are interested in donating to find a cure for diabetes, please email me and I will send you a copy of Chris's newsletter. Checks made out to JDRF and they are tax deductible. mrsbubbached@yahoo.com

    As soon as we can, I will be back racing with a new paint job and also my car will say "Racing for a Cure". I am keeping my #43 but would like a new paint scheme on the car. Can you guess what color I want to make it? Whatever I make from racing goes to JDRF.

    Update

    We had awesome weather for our walk on Saturday. Chris and I both walked around UCF even though we were tired from a busy week. Our school boys basketball team went to state for the first time in school history and won class 1A title. We only have 7 players on the team and none of them are seniors. They all plan on being back next year to play and I am ready to make the road trip to Lakeland again. GO OCP!!!!!

    Now onto to our walk update. Chris received another donation of $100 yesterday which brings his total to $640. We still have a little more to go but expect to finish raising the other $360 needed to reach his goal.
