The Hike for Hope

How You Can Help

The answer to this one is simple: money.

Naturally, we're hoping that you'll want to help the Diabetes Action Research and Education Foundation in their mission, supporting education and research to enhance the quality of life for all people affected by diabetes. Our emphasis is on nutritional therapies for prevention and treatment.

In the news recently we've seen stories about children as young as 12 years of age being diagnosed with Type II diabetes — which was formerly known as "adult onset diabetes." The rapid increase of obesity among children and adolescents is reported as the primary cause in this disturbing new trend. Diet and exercise education might be successful in stemming this tide.

To give you some incentive to donate generously, Jeff Alt has autographed two copies of his book A Walk For Sunshine. The highest donors who make contributions to Mark or Jeremy will receive one of those two autographed books.
