John and Cheryl Countryman tell us that their granddaughter Emma, her family and friends will take part in the in the Ron Santo Walk for the Cure for Juvenile Diabetes; it will be held in Warrenville on Sunday, October 1st.
Emma has suffered from type 1 diabetes since she was 4. She is now 13, and her life has improved with the creation of new devices like the monitor she wears to alert her of high and low in blood sugar.
Team Emma has established an online site that allows you to donate directly; click on this link to go to that site. If you would rather mail a check, payable to JDRF, they will make sure it goes to Team Emma's credit. Their mailing address is: 571 Brant Circle, DeKalb, IL 60115
