Dear Friend,

This fall I will be joining more than 100,000 fellow walkers from across the country in this year’s

Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes to raise money for the American Diabetes Association. I will

be gathering donations and walking to help stop diabetes.

I am asking for your help. By making a donation on my behalf, you will be helping the American

Diabetes Association provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of

people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure.

Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a

hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily

life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental

factors appear to play roles. There are 23.6 million Americans living with diabetes, a disease

that is outpacing heart disease, cancer and AIDS. If current trends continue, one in three

children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime.

I believe that my participation in this year’s Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes can and will make

a difference. Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes is one of the American Diabetes Association’s

biggest fundraisers. With the help of people like you, the American Diabetes Association can

raise over $20 million to help stop diabetes.

Please help me reach my goal by supporting me for this year’s Step Out: Walk to Fight

Diabetes. Please go to my Web Page at <PERSONAL WEB PAGE ADDRESS>, to make a

secure, 100% tax deductible donation. <If you do not want to donate online, please make your

check payable to the American Diabetes Association and include your donation in the enclosed

envelope. Please mail your contribution to me at <YOUR ADDRESS>.>

Together we can stop diabetes. One step at a time.

Yours truly,

The mission of the American Diabetes Association is to prevent and cure diabetes

and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
