Hi, I wasn't sure whether to go in Off topic, or elsewhere, but since it doesn't really have to do with the AI boards, I guess, I figured I'd post here.

I don't know if anyone is interested or not, but in checking some Elliot things out, I came across the Diabetes site. There are walk-a-thons in local areas around all of us at different times throughout the year. I'll be walking in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes this year (9/17) in the Litchfield, CT area. I made up a team (only has 4 so far) and ask you to join me if you live in this area. It's for a really good cause. If you are from this area, and want to join my team, the link to join my team is:

Or if you want to walk alone, or start your own team, OR live in a different area, you can sign up at:

"Taking part in the Walk is great experience. Not only will you be making a real difference in helping to find a cure that will change the lives of millions... you'll be having FUN, and getting a good workout too!"

Thanks! I hope I didn't overstep my bounds. Please accept my apologies if I did.

PS> The name of the team is The E Team. (In honor of Elliot, of course)

My whole family did the walk for several years (my older sister died from the disease). One year my mother, who uses a walker and is in her 80s, walked the first mile. We all wore t-shirts with my sister's picture on them.

I am sorry about your sister. It is a horrible disease. Your family sounds fantastic, though! Very strong and amazing. I'll bet, walking as a family, you also enjoyed some times together. And your mother....well that is really something! How fantastic she is!

Thanks for your response. Surprisingly, it's the only one I got to this post. I'm glad it was a great one. Thanks again. Wishing you and your family well.
