Raises $2,400 for
Juvefiile Diabetes
The Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation's
(JDRF) Walk to Cure Dia-
betes was held Monday,
May 12, at the fairgrounds
in Des Moines. This
fundraiser is held annually
for TID (Type I Diabetes)
research. Each year, over
13,000 children are diag'
nosed in the United States
with TID-formerly known
as juvenile diabetes. This is
equivalent to about 35 chil-
dren diagnosed each and
every day! Diabetes is one
of the most costly chronic
childhood diseases and
something they will never
outgrow. TlI9 causes life-
long dependence on in-
jected or pumped insulin,
multiple blood sample
testing throughout the day
to monitor blood sugar
levels and carries the con-
stant threat of devastating
complications.
In support of JDRF,
Lakewood Elementary
• pitched in to raise money!
Students participated by
having each classroom col-
lect coins the past few
weeks. They displayed
amazing generosity going
above and beyond bring-
ing in allowances and
birthday money to donate
to the cause! Two class-
rooms collected over $300.
Lakewood also had "Hat
Day" where-students paid
$1 to wear a hat for the day.
Teachers and staff made
their donations by paying
money to wear jeans for a
day or two during the
week. All efforts coinbined
raised a total of $2,419.07.
This money was divided
among the three Lake-
wood students with TID
and donated to JDRF.
