Superheroes wanted only. It's free to walk - and we can help fund research to cure and aid those children with juvenile diabetes. If you'd like to walk with the WPE and the mayor, please send me a PM for sign up info. We already have a Spider man, Super Girl and Rogue. I have a Sue Storm outfit if any girl locally here would like to use it. They also reached out for us to walk in the Brevard and Volusia county walks in the next few weeks of march as well. It's a 5k in spandex - so be warned http://www.myspace.com/lookdeepintonature

There will NEVER be a cure when the pharmacutical companies are getting in excess of $30 for a single bottle of insulin and the folks that make the glucose test strips get $60 for 100 test strips. It's all about the money. I've been a diabetic since 1976 and the only "improvements" I've seen are toward MORE COSTLY maintenance medications and devices. Believe me, if they EVER discover a cure the drug compaines will never let anyone know about it. It costs me in excess of $4000 a year (out of pocket AFTER my medical insurance covers 90% of it) to "maintain" my diabetes and I'm ONE out of MILLIONS or people un the US that are diebetic. Have a nice walk but I'm telling you, you're wasteing your time.You WON'T be getting MY support. A day without sunshine is like---------night.

Been since '00. Yeah, looking back at the history of diabetes, in the 70's they said they were 10 years away from a cure, in the 80's they said they were 10 years away from a cure, in the 90's they said they were 10 years away from a cure, and when I see my endocrinologists now, guess what? 10 years away from a cure. It's damn expensive, I feel your pain... even worse that most insurance companies REFUSE to touch anybody with a pre-existing condition of diabetes. LAME! On the other hand, I have both walked and fundraised for JDRF, and probably would have gone to the event had I known (LA Local)... Gotta try to keep hope alive. Buddha, hope it went well, and let me know if anything else comes up... Ed, good luck with the HBA1C! ~M
