Brittney Deskins mom.....

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

How are you all? Brittney is doing well, she has her hearing aids

now and she just got braces for her feet and a walker and put on

bolus feeds instead of continous. The reason that I am writing

everyone is on behalf of Brittneys brother Cody and JDRF (juvenile

diabetes research foundation) we will be walking on May 6th at

warriors path state park in Kingsport Tn. Cody was diagnosed with

type 1 juvenile diabetes before he even turned 2 years old. He is

now 5 and it has been a struggle trying to keep his sugar under

control, a few hospitalizations and scares. It has been rough. He is

in school now and has to be pulled out of class 2-3 times a day to

have his sugar checked and get shots. I know that it is nothing like

charge kids but it could lead to many problems when they get older..

as many may know if you know anyone with this disease. there are 18

million kids out there and more are diagnosed every day. Alot of

times Cody has said " mommy I dont wanna have diabetes anymore. " and

with your possible donation there can be so much research done to

help find a cure in our lifetime so that he does not have to say

those words anymore. It is hard sometimes dealing with the problems

that brittney has and on top of that cody's diabetes. All donations

are tax deducible and greatly appreciated. If you would like to make

a donation you can make a check to JDRF and send it to me...
