We're writing to you to ask for your support in a very special
cause.
This
year, members of the MAZDASPEED MOTORSPORTS team will be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to
Cure Diabetes along along with family and lots of other Mazda North American Operations participants. Mazda's Team Goal: To raise $95,000.00 to help fund research for a cure for type 1 diabetes
and its complications.
Type
1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating, often deadly disease that affects
millions of people--a large and growing percentage of them
children.
Many
people think type 1 diabetes can be controlled by insulin. While insulin does
keep people with type 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.
That's
the bad news... and yes, it's pretty bad.
The
good news, though, is that a cure for type 1 diabetes is within reach. In fact,
JDRF funding and leadership is associated with most major scientific
breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research to date. And JDRF funds a major
portion of all type 1 diabetes research worldwide, more than any other
charity.
We're writing to ask for your support because now more than ever, EACH of us can be a
part of bringing about a cure. Each of us can make a real
difference
Won't
you please give to JDRF as generously as you're able?
Together,
we can make the cure a reality.
Please
