I wanted to reach out and say that, even a couple months later. Your daughter looks like she had a great time, and what a memory for your family to have! Dear Anonymous: Thank you so incredibly much. Not only for what you've done overall here, but also the Diabetes Youth Foundation of Indiana. I've recently joined the board for this organization and love being a part of the camp, and your generosity is going to make so much of a difference to these kids who visit the camp each year. I've been a Type 1 for most of my life since age and am a part of the JDRF-ADA-DYFI and others locally & nationally, and seeing this kind of generosity from people like you - especially those who do it without name recognition - touches my soul and gives me hope beyond belief. Hope that we will indeed find a cure, because of this kind of generosity. Again, thank you so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565266366481013224.post-70352590878467503672011-02-04T13:35:42.230-07:002011-02-04T13:35:42.230-07:00Reading the last two comments has brought tears to...Reading the last two comments has brought tears to my eyes. <br />Its such a blessing to know that there are such wonderful and generous - truly GOOD people in this world.<br />God bless you, Mr. 2012 Grabber Blue Boss 302 Laguna Seca Owner.

I'm inspired beyond words and genuinely grateful. <br /><br />The color thing is amazing to me! That just puts the icing on an already incredible (grabber blue) cake!<br /><br />Please know that you have created a memory that will a part of our family forever. When my daughter grows up, and has a family of her own, she will tell them about the time her daddy took her to a car show where she witnessed a most profound act of generosity.<br /><br />Who knows? Maybe she'll also be telling them about what it USED to be like to have Type 1 Diabetes.<br /><br />God Bless,<br />A Family Who Will Never Forget You.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16704298016041843194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565266366481013224.post-68274589823797922122011-02-04T10:21:01.014-07:002011-02-04T10:21:01.014-07:00Dear Candy Hearts,
My son saw your blog and told ...Dear Candy Hearts,<br /><br />My son saw your blog and told me that I should read your letter to us. I appreciate your kind words and thought I would answer some of your questions.<br /><br />Type I and Type II Diabetes does run in our family. My brother and I both have Type II and our grandfather died from complications related to Type I. In addition, I know many people (mostly children and young adults) that have Type I. Before I was diagnosed with Type II this past year, I was contributing to other causes related to children and teens with a special cause being a camp in Noblesville, Indiana operated by the Diabetes Youth Foundation of Indiana. In addition to my passion to support “our” youth, I am a Mustang and Shelby enthusiast. I grew up in a time when muscle cars were an everyday thing. In high school, my brother and I both had 1970 Boss 302 Mustangs. Guess what….. my Boss 302 was Grabber Blue. Since that time, I have been a lifelong advocate for Ford. So…… when you consider everything….. I thought this was an “opportunity of a lifetime” to work with Ford and to be a part of their “pay it forward” efforts with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.<br /><br />I have requested that Barrett-Jackson, JDRF, and Ford to allow me to make this contribution anonymously. My family and I do not seek any recognition and only want the satisfaction of knowing this contribution will strengthen the focus on this disease and ultimately a cure. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />The 2012 Grabber Blue Boss 302 Laguna Seca Owner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565266366481013224.post-85426193656958542282011-01-28T11:48:43.681-07:002011-01-28T11:48:43.681-07:00Wow!
