We joined with thousands of others down on the National Mall for the three mile walk to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes Research.

If you haven't yet taken the opportunity to contribute, now is the time.

We'll appreciate it, but more importantly, all those who suffer with diabetes will thank you.
