My daughter, Madeline, is an active 13 year old girl . At age 9 she was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes, also known as Type 1. She was diagnosed on March 16th, 2004. That following September we formed a Walk Team to participate in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Walk For A Cure. There were 12 of us. The next year our walk team grew to close to 30. The next year we had over 50. The next year we had close to 100! This blog has been created for Team MadDog. We will be walking again on October 5th and we hope for an even bigger team. The outpouring of support from our friends and family (and even strangers) never ceases to amaze me. Actually, it overwhelms me.
