Count your blessing, thank your lucky stars, cherish your healthy kiddo because some families are not able to. So many families are affected by juvenile diabetes. It is a life changing disease. We are very fortunate to have two healthy children, but we have some dear friends of ours who lives changed due to JDRF. It is an every minute, daily battle for these kids and their families. This disease is not only physically and mentally exhausting, but financially as well. There are no breaks for the kids or their caregivers. I've mentioned our friends, Ali and Nathan and their son, Mikey before. Mikey has Type 1 diabetes and deals with finger pricks several times a day, insulin shots, limits in diet, exercise, and all sorts of things that you just don't ever think about. And Ali and Nathan have had to quickly learn the ins and outs of Type 1 diabetes. They have rolled with every punch and keep on trucking. Ali shared this video with me and others and I want to share it with you. I have never met Rowan or her momma or her sister, but my heart and my prayers go out to this family. We will be donating this year like we have in the past few years to JDRF. Won't you join us and others and donate and or spread the word and help with research and funding to find a cure for junior diabetes. Please take a few minutes and watch Rowan's story. And grab a box of Kleenex because her story will pull your heart strings.

Be a COOL KID!!!
We feel it's very important for Henry and Emma to know how fortunate they are to be healthy, have food, clothes, and toys, and be able to do most of the things that they want to do. We also want them to be charitable with their time, money, toys,etc. So we've been trying to do our part the last 3-4 years and donating and or participating in charity events. Most of the links on our side bar are for charities that we support. Would you please join us in helping these charities and either donate money or some of your time to help find cures for these diseases. Be a COOL KID, and be a part of finding a cure for MS, Juvenile Diabetes, Leukemia, Niemann-Pick Disease Type C(NPC), March for Babies(March of Dimes), and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
We have either a family member or a close family friend who have been effected by each of these diseases. So we are proud to be COOL KIDS and do our part!
Come on, you know you want to be a COOL KID!!!
Be a COOL KID!!!
