Introduction:
Hello~ Welcome to my profile! On October 26, I'll be taking part again 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 $105 million. It is a cause that is near and dear to my heart because my son, David Layne, has had the disease since he was ten years old.
Type 1, or juvenile diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people. A large and growing percentage of them are children. Many people think type 1 diabetes can be controlled by insulin. While insulin does keep people with tpe 1 diabetes alive, it is NOT a cure. Aside from the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes, there are many severe, often fatal, complications caused by the disease.
Since there are more than 18 million Amerians affected by diabetes, I believe that my work each year with JDRF is important and well worth the effort. I am particularly proud of the fact that JDRF has provided more funding for diabetes research than any other non-governmental agency in the world. For the first time, scientists are predicting that we CAN expect to see a cure well within our lifetime!
Now, more than ever, you can make a crucial difference. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible? Together, we can make the cure a reality!
My personal fundraising goal is $500. I would appreciate any support you can give me for this worthwhile cause. Tax deductible donations can be made here online on my webpage: http://walk.jdrf.org/walker.cfm?id=87243324
Thanks in advance for your support to this worthy cause.
I'm enjoying meeting new people and making new friends on BoN. I'm in a relationship with Baddog, so am not looking to hook up with anyone. As a couple, we are always open to meeting new friends and riding partners.
Baddog and I love to ride, so we are usually riding every weekend, however, recently I broke my foot, so we are just now getting back on the bike.
I was raised in a small town in Mid-Missouri and ended up in San Diego in 1985 (courtesy of the US Navy and an ex). Love it here in beautiful sunny San Diego, so decided to stay. We definitely pay the "sunshine tax" here, but I think it's worth it because the weather is great, so we can pretty much ride year around.
During the majority of the past 20 years, I have been busy raising my son and with my career. Now that he is grown, I am opening doors to the next chapter in my life, the fun part! I'm pretty open minded and ready for new adventures. Most of the time, you will find me with a smile on my face or overhear me giggle. Most of all, I am the happiest when I am hanging with my best friend of all, Baddog. We have fun no matter where we are or what we are doing.
Besides riding locally, traveling is one of my favorite pleasures & that includes both weekend getaways or longer vacations. When traveling, I like to indulge in the usual tourist activities during the day & then find a place in the evening where locals hang out such as a neighborhood pub or restaurant that is known for its history or character.
Baddog and I prefer hanging out at a neighborhood hole in the wall or dive bar rather than a snobbish downtown nightclub. I also enjoy live music with local artists at small clubs/venues & also concerts at Cox or Coors to listen to just about any type of music, except for metal, hip hop or rap, (okay, I have recognized a few songs in the elevator!:-).
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways with chocolate in one hand, Crown Royal in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming~ Woo hoo what a ride!" Thanks for stopping by my profile! Cheers!
