Donate: Diabetes & Hispanics Making a Difference

My sister is walking on October 15, 2006, on behalf of my nephew and my mom, in the NYC JDRF’s Walk to Cure Diabetes.

Please help support her team, Damian’s Angels, and donate what you can.

Help Make A Difference

Each mile, each dollar Danny’s Angels raises will be used in the fight to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.

Every year more than 210,000 people (many of hispanic & African American backgrounds) die because of diabetes, and this disease costs over $130 billion annually in direct and indirect costs.

With your help, we can make a difference in the lives of each and every person affected by this tragic disease!

Thanks!
