Please join Curt and 15,000 caring others in raising over $2 million at the JDRF’s Los Angeles "Walk to Cure Diabetes" on November 1 at Dodger Stadium!
Both Charlton’s daughter Georgica and Curt’s manager Arlene’s son Ben have Type 1 (also known as Juvenile or insulin-dependent) diabetes, which is an incurable auto-immune disease in which the body loses its ability to produce insulin. While insulin thereapy allows Type 1 diabetics to stay alive, it does not cure diabetes; nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating effects: kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, amputations, heart attack and stroke. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s sole mission is to find a cure for this disease, which affects some 3 million Americans.
The 5-K Walk opens for registration at 8am and the Walk begins at 10am.
Please consider supporting our team, "Curt’s KOOKs for Georgica and Ben." You can sign up to walk with the team, and/or make a tax-deductible contribution, using the link below:
