Have you heard about her research into a cure for Type 1 diabetes? Initially it was pooh-poohed by some of the diabetes organizations for various reasons. Then in March 2006, some other research teams were able to validate parts of the research.
Anyway, Lee Iacocca's foundation has committed to raising $11 million to fund the research and see what happens.
So I'm dusting off my bicycling shorts and taking to the road again to raise funds. Last time I did this was in 2003, when I raised about $3,400 for ADA. And that was after getting some lousy chest cold about 3 days before the ride.
This time, I'm aiming for a 50-mile ride and I want to raise $6,000. It turns out that the ride itself seems to be on the 34th anniversary of my diagnosis - I think. I need to talk with my mom in Ireland about the actual Sunday in September 1972 when I went into hospital.
Right now, I'm fighting off my 3rd pneumonia of the year. But I'll be on the bike training again in a few more days.
Hey, anyone know whether there's any connection between recurrent pneumonia and diabetes?
