Q: Need some creative team names for Diabetes Walk?
I’m forming a team for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk and I’m coming up short on quirky team names. The walk is going to be at Liberty State Park (view of the Statue of Liberty). I was trying to come up with something associated with that, but ehhh. So far my team and I have come up with zilch. Thanks for any help!

A: Sugar Shakers, Happy Feet, Sweet Soles, Let them Eat Cake, Legs for Liberty, Distance for Diabetes

idk, i just thought of those off the top of my head. maybe they arent so good :P

Q: is there a foundation or charitable organization who helps poor children suffering from juvenile diabetes?
i have a neighbor whose 11 year old niece suffers from diabetes. this girls’ mom abandoned her at an early age and the father right now is out of work so it’s my neighbor who’s taking care of her niece and she’s not faring well since the cost of medicine weighs her down. She’s a public high school teacher in a the Philippines and what she earns isn’t enough to support her niece. she’s asking me to help her find a sponsor if there is one for the girl and i’m kind of stumped so here i am asking for your help guys, anyone?

A: Here’s a link for the big one with locations all over the world.

Q: Where can I turn in soda can tabs for money?
I live in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, IL and I was wondering where I can turn in pop can tabs for money so I can donate the money to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Does anyone know where I can turn them in?

A: They don’t actually take them for donations for diabetes. This is a HUGE urban legend.
You can take them to the recycling depot where they will redeem the aluminum for what the weight is worth, which is very little. You would need a lot of tabs.
Snopes says: “Charity groups and the aluminum industry say they have been fighting misconseptions about collecting pop can tabs for years”

Q: Does she have diabetes?
I wanted to know if Kristen Stewart has diabetes. She was at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Walk To Cure Diabetes in LA this weekend and I was wondering if she actually has diabetes or if she simply was promoting herself for New Moon (coming out next week).

A: No it is NOT a publicity ploy.
She’s involved with that foundation since she was 12.
She portrayed a suffering diabetic in her movie with Jodie Foster (Panic Room).
She was also involved with Security On Campus PSA for rape victims,bcoz she was trumatized 14-year old rape victim in “Speak”,her best performace so far.

Q: If I am planning on doing a small fundraiser, should I contact the charity first?
I’ve been thinking about raising money for CODA (Central Ohio Diabetes Association) and JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) by shaving my head. Kind of like a “How much will you pay me to shave my head?” then giving the money to the two organizations. Should I contact these organizations beforehand?

A: Yes, you should contact them beforehand. First, if someone wants to verify that you are truly collecting money for them, then they have the real answer. 2nd, before you decide, you should have a $ amount in mind. Will you shave your head for $5? What if no one really cares if you shave your head or not and you only get a little money? I think that perhaps the shaving of the head could be a part of the fund raiser, but not the whole thing. How much do you realistically think you can get for shaving your head? Will it be enough to share with 2 such large organizations? Consider joining another fund raiser or donate to a local group. Think out your options before you speak publicly.

Q: does rickie weeks have diabetes??
i heard of the fubdraiser Rickie Weeks was doing “Dining for a Difference” charity event for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at the brewers game yesterday and i was wondering if Rickie Weeks has diabetes?

A: no he does not. I was at the event. his mother and his grandparents have it.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE PETER KING?
(and don’t say ran for us house…your not even know out of the state of NY)

So Peter King when you’ve reached the HALF WAY mark of Michael Jackson’s accomplishments MAYbe this video will be over looked and you will gain much respect and love from people…AND media coverage when you die, until then respect the legendary MICHAEL JOSEPH JACKSON!

RIP MICHAEL JACKSON

A: He shouldnt say stuff like that about a dead man. It’s just wrong. And i think pete forgot about all the loads of charity michael has done. He didnt even mention that in his video. That charity helped hundreds and is a huge sacrifice in itself. Michael has faced criticism all his life. Leave him alone now that he has died!

R.I.P Michael Jackson
