How You Can Help
My goal for my marathon is both to finish the run and to raise $2000 for the American Diabetes Association’s efforts for the disease I have dealt with since 1970.
Do you have a few pennies to toss my way? It’s a great cause (look at the stats for the prevalance of diabetes), tax deductible, and will bring you good vibes.
I am Down With it! Take me to the Sponsor Form
Did you know... 118,000 (15.1%) American Indians and Alaska Natives aged 20 years or older have diabetes (both diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes). Taking into account population age differences, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 2.2 times as likely to have diabetes as non-Hispanic whites. (from ADA)

GREAT committment, Alan. I raised over $2000 for the Leukemia Society with their Team In Training program several years ago. It was a great experience both physically and spiritually as I felt I was contributing to a much greater cause. I look forward to tracking your progress.
