    The Juvenville Diabetes Research Foundation will get a check for over 3 grand as a result of the effort on behalf the Chicago Corvette Club and Perfect Auto Finish from the show on fathers day. If the Ferrari club ever wants to sponsor such a show, I will glad to help out for any worthy cause. Gary

    A little more info;

    To those of you that don't know, Juvenile Diabetes does not refer to kids that are diabetic. It's a term used for anyone that has Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

    Your contributions to research will help everyone with this crippling disease and, at this point, the main benefit will be to the younger generations that that were born with it, or contracted it at an early age.

    In my case, I've had Juvenile Diabetes for 20 years, and severe physical damage has already been done.

    If you can find it in your hearts, please contribute to research. At this point, people of my gen probably won't gain any benefit, but hopefully the children of today and tomorrow will have a cure for it in their lifetime.

    Soapbox mode off! :)

    Andreas,Guys....Perhaps we've found our Charity. And,from what I see every single day on the News. It's just getting Worse- EVERY DAY...And,with our Buddy Skip also suffering,it really hits home.

    Anything that we can do to help,so that good people like Skip don't have to suffer through this anymore,is certainly worth consideration.

    Well done. I work with Margie Teller, who is heavily involved with JDF in Chicago. She always hits us up for a bunch every year, but definitely worthwhile.

    I have a friend who's 9 yr old son was diagnosed with JD about a year ago.

    I sure would love it if I could see him cured in my lifetime......
