2015 Walk Letter
Dear Family and Friends –
This is the time of year for the JDRF One Walk, the time when we ask folks to donate money to help find a cure for Type 1 diabetes (T1D). We've been doing the same thing for almost ten years, and it’s getting old. So this year, we want to do things a bit differently:
- I'm not obsessing about the walk letter. I'm typing this, checking for glaring errors, and then sending it out. I usually agonize over every word; it’s a very emotional process.
- I'm sending this letter to everyone in my email address book. I may have emailed you once six years ago, and you're getting this letter from someone you don't even remember. But, I decided not to judge who might or might not want to give to JDRF.
As we are approaching our JDRF support request differently this year, we are planning to respond differently:
- Anyone who makes a donation will get a signed photograph of Grace. Yes, that's a big deal. Grace strongly dislikes having her picture taken, and she'll have to think about how great folks think she is every time she signs a thank-you photo.
- And...we are going to have a party! A month or so after the walk, we are going to invite everyone who donates $50 or more, and anyone who walks with Super G's team, to come to our house and celebrate the journey to find a cure. We haven't had a post-walk party before, but your support of JDRF and our family is definitely worth celebrating!
Your donation is very important to me personally. There is a lot of who I am tied to JDRF as an organization, due to all of Grace’s years living with T1D. Truly, even giving $5 in honor of Grace means so much. Your donation is what will help find a cure. And I really want a cure for Grace. Now.
Thank you for your support of JDRF and our family, whether it’s by making a $50 donation (or a $5 one!), joining Super G’s team to walk on September 26th, or sending thoughts and prayers our way. To make a donation or to join us at One Walk, go to Grace’s JDRF Walk page at http://www2.jdrf.org/goto/superG. Please send any checks to JDRF Middle Tennessee at 105 Westpark Drive, Brentwood, TN, 37027.
With sincerest appreciation –
The Kueker Family – Monique (the one at the keyboard), Mike, Claire - and, of course, Grace!

2014 Letter for Grace
Dear
friends and family,
It's
the same story, same girl...but 11 years later.
It's
the same disease with great advances in technology...but still no cure.
It's
the same Walk supporting the same cause...but now it's 2014.
The
next chapter in Grace's story could be different.
Type 1
diabetes (T1D) could have a cure, instead of improved care.
The
JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes doesn't have to continue year after year.
The
cure for T1D could be developing right now. There may already be a scientist
out there with the idea which will become the solution. JDRF could help fund
that research. And we could help.
Please
support Grace, JDRF...and that scientist out there somewhere. Together, we can
turn Type One into Type None.
Thank
you for your love and support.
Best -
The
Kueker Family
