I apologize to anyone who finds this off-topic plea for help offensive, but it
is for a great cause.
On October 2nd, I will be joining more than 100,000 fellow walkers from across
the country in this year's Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes to raise money for
the American Diabetes Association. I will be gathering donations and walking to
help stop diabetes. I am significantly below my $1,000 fundraising goal, so I
am asking for your help. By making a donation on my behalf, you will be helping
the American Diabetes Association provide community-based education programs,
protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a
cure. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use
insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and
other food into energy needed for daily life.
The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and
environmental factors appear to play roles. There are 23.6 million Americans
living with diabetes, a disease that is outpacing heart disease, cancer and
AIDS. If we don't act now, one in three children born in the year 2000 will
develop diabetes in their lifetime. I believe that my participation in this
year's Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes can and will make a difference. Step
Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes is one of the American Diabetes Association's
biggest fundraisers. With the help of people like you, the American Diabetes
Association can raise over $20 million to help stop diabetes. Please help me
reach my goal by supporting me for this year's Step Out: Walk to Fight
Diabetes. Please follow the link below to my personal Web page to make a
secure, 100% tax deductible donation. (If you do not want to donate online,
please make your check payable to the American Diabetes Association and mail
your c!
ontribution to me at .) Together we can stop diabetes. One step at a time.
Yours truly,
Stan Horwitz
