Donations Please!

Along with the message of promoting whole and local foods, I am also hoping to raise at least $10,000 for two organizations. one is the World Hunger Year at www.worldhungeryear.org, and the other is www.rundiabetesrun.org. World hunger year “WHY is convinced that solutions to hunger and poverty can be found at the grassroots level. WHY advances long-term solutions to hunger and poverty by supporting community-based organizations that empower individuals and build self-reliance, i.e., offering job training, education and after school programs; increasing access to housing and healthcare; providing microcredit and entrepreneurial opportunities; teaching people to grow their own food; and assisting small farmers. WHY connects these organizations to funders, media and legislators.” Run Diabetes Run Gary Galloway is working on running a marathon in all 50 states, with the goal of raising $1,000,000 in support of research to find the cure for diabetes type I. Over 3 million Americans suffer from this genetic disease, and 15,000 children are diagnosed each year. Although diabetes type I can be managed, it is a constant struggle to keep blood sugar levels in an acceptable range. Diabetes needs to be stopped in its tracks, and we can all help.http://www.worldhungeryear.orghttp://www.rundiabetesrun.orgshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1
