In this life there are many who are or will be facing incomprehensible challenges.

Sandy’s Giving Design

 

“Rufus and The Sunbrella”

10” x 16”

PID020

 

             My family began supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation a few years ago when my great nephew, Chace of Fresno, California, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the tender age of nearly 2 years old.  With the support of his family and friends, he is adapting to the burdens that this disease imposes.   For Chace and all others with Diabetes, I have chosen JDRF as the recipient of my Giving Design Donations.

             Rufus, the Bear with Diabetes, was created by Carol Cramer, whose son Brian was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 1994 at the age of three.  Now, each child who is diagnosed with Diabetes receives a Rufus or Ruby Bear.  With Carol’s blessings, I put Rufus in this playful and happy scene.  Kids with Diabetes know who Rufus is, to everyone else, he’s just a sweet little guy that any child would fall in love with.

             Founded by parents of children with juvenile diabetes, JDRF has one mission: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.  To learn more about the accomplishments of this organization, please visit their website. I hope that you will join me in support of JDRF and all who have and will be diagnosed with Diabetes.
