Update:
From Cowpattybill’s site:
“My 9 year old son Tyler was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes three years ago. One thing he enjoys doing is going to a summer camp that is just for kids with diabetes. While he is there he is surrounded by other kids who understand how he feels and struggle with the same things he does.
The camp is called Bearskin Meadow Camp. It is run by the Diabetic Youth Foundation (www.dyf.org) and it is truly amazing. They don’t turn away any child regardless of their ability to pay. For awhile these kids are able to almost forget that they have diabetes and that they’re “different”. As a parent I can take a break from diabetes management because I know he is safe and surrounded by trained professionals.
To be able to do these camps they rely on donations and fundraising. Their biggest fundraising event of the year is the Families in the Forest walk. It’s about a mile and half. My son is going to do the walk this year. He has set up a donation page. If you would like to sponsor him and make a donation you can do so below.
His goal is to raise $2500 not for himself but so that DYF can pay for other children whose families can’t financially afford to send them.
On behalf of Tyler I thank you for your support.”
As the author of this week’s update, I thought Tyler’s cause was worthwhile enough to disseminate it across member sites. He’s a nine year old boy who actually cares about others. As adults we have an opportunity to show Tyler and his friends and the other kids at the camp that it is good and worthwhile to be good. It doesn’t seem right to crush anyone’s hopes and dreams let alone a decent kid who by all accounts is thriving despite having to face Diabetes every day for the rest of his life. You are not obligated to donate but the least you can do is spread the word over the vast and wonderful internet in the hopes that someone has a couple bucks ready for a good cause.<SPAN< SPAN>Thank you to anyone who has decided to post the update and thank you to anyone reading it. This is all for now but I think we can all agree, it’s more than enough.
