JDRF Walk

Our JDRF Walk is this weekend and I have to confess, I'm not looking that forward to it. I guess these types of events make me sad.

I feel I'm a pretty active person with JDRF, but I'm not sure for how long. First of all, I'm pretty busy. 2nd of all, I'm not sure that I like how JDRF makes me feel.

Yes. I want a cure. I'd do literally anything for a cure for my son. But I hate asking people for money. This is year 2 and I'm not sure I can ask again next year. And I hate how JDRF treats this disease like it's the worse thing in the world that could ever happen to a child.

Is it great? No, but I'm sorry, my pitty goes out to those parents with children that can never leave home. That will never be able to take care of themselves. My sympothy goes out to those children with cancer. Those kids who are truly suffering with pain.

My son isn't in pain. A couple of times a week the needle hurts when we put it in. But mostly, he's just a normal kid that has to wear a machine to keep him alive. It could be so much worse.

Anyway...I'll walk my 3 miles and I'll have fun doing it, but I just don't know if JDRF is for me.
