I think I would say diabetes and AGD are meaningful to me because I have two cousins who are diabetic. I remember learning of this early on ( I dont remember when exactly). When I told my mom that JDF was the philanthropy she was excited to hear that and told me she had been sending them donations for many years already. I gave to JDF this past year and had planned on going to The Walk to Cure Diabetes. However, unfortunately my grandfather past away that same morning and I had to make other arangements. In fact, I was literally walking out the door to go to The Walk as the phone rang with news about my grandfather. I did collect my mothers annual donation to add to mine and mailed them to JDF just the same though. This year I really do hope and I am planning on going to The Walk. I know this is a minimal relation, but I think it is a good connection.
