Hey everybody. On November 13, just over 2 weeks away, I’ll be taking part in JDRF’s Walk to Cure Diabetes, along with one-half million other walkers across the country, as we try to reach our goal of raising $90 million.

Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people, a large and growing percentage of them children.

Since Rose has gotten me into walking more, I figured the least I could do was to put that walking to good use. Also, what better way to train for the Disney World Half-Marathon we’re doing in January?!? (Yeah, Rose will be running that one, but I’ll be walking, of course.) If I can hike the Michigan Dunes and Harney Peak, surely I can do a 5k for diabetes and a 13.1-mile walk in Disney World!

That’s enough blabbin for now.
