Caden

Caden has been diabetic for 6 1/2 of the 8 years of his life. Since he was diagnosed our family has raised thousands of dollars for Junvenile Diabetes Research and we are still very passionate about this organization. Currently, we are caught in the middle because his school was #1 in the nation last year for the amount of money raised for the American Diabetes Association. We don't "dislike" ADA, but we have always felt a stronger connection to JDRF given our son has Junvenile diabetes (which is out of his control) and not Type II diabetes. Either way, the past couple years he has chosen to raise money with his school which is understandable, so we are supporting his decision. Plus, our school does ear mark the money for children to attend summer camps (diabetes camp) which is a great cause and Caden LOVES going to diabetes camp each year.

If you're at all interested in donating (even a dollar is super exciting for him!) here is his personal URL that will allow you to donate online: http://main.diabetes.org/goto/cadenb

His school gets VERY into this cause and last year raised about $50,000 which put St. Mark as the top school in the nation. Thanks in advance!!!
