Besides, if a cause is that important to a PNM, she can always get involved with a group to raise money/volunteer for that cause. | 
	
 Actually, there was a girl in my pledge class that was a diabetic, and had been nearly all her life.  Our philanthrophy was Juvenile Diabetes.  She always said that was the reason she pledged.  I can only take her word for it.
