Stemwinder said… Hi ,
You may have noticed TuD hanging around the site. It's his 6th birthday this month, and his big international family of people with diabetes is growing. Our 6th birthday fundraising campaign is on! Every dollar you donate allows TuDiabetes to reach 6 people touched by diabetes, giving them the opportunity to not be alone!
Please consider making a donation, as well as asking your friends and family to give what they can. TuD's birthday party will keep getting more guests as we raise more donations (see top of the home page). Let's help keep our family thriving and growing! Please share this message. Thanks!

hi Brunetta, haven't checked in with you lately. congrats on being featured! say, on Thursday Lots is having an operation at 1240 at Georgetown Hospital in Washington DC, to remove a tumor on her liver. I want all of us to gather in a virtual prayer circle for her. she is our dear sister here, and we want her to have a successful operation, peace, and a clean bill of health. I know I can count on you to include her in your prayers. I know the Lord answered mine today.
