I just wanted to touch base with you, and let you know about a
Cruise-In fundraiser we are hosting in Spartanburg.
November 14, at Sears Auto Center (Westgate mall parking lot)
8pm onwards.
We would love to you and your car club come up, hang out and be part of it with us.
Its pretty much just a big "Cruise-In" & Raffle,
It gives the Spartanburg Friday night cruises somewhere to hang out, and its for a good cause too.
Prizes for the raffle have been donated by local area shops who all came together to show support for this great cause. MeanStreet Motorsports, Top Dead Center, Modified Automotive, NS Performance, Hooters and more!
Hope you can make it out!!!!

More info about this cruise-in.....
Cruise for a Cause on November 14 - Support USC Upstate Student Stephanie Mathis Jones
Stephanie Mathis Jones, an education major and student worker in University Communications, invites the campus community to come to the Sears parking lot at Westgate Mall on November 14 (rain date November 15) from 8 - 10 p.m. for a benefit called "Cruise for a Cause." Stephanie has type 1 diabetes, and needs a new insulin pump. She is not covered under an insurance plan, and so she asks for your help in purchasing a new pump, valued at just over $6,000. Her friend Joe Zilano, owner of Elite Audio, together with Sears Auto Center, have put together this cruise in, which promises to be a fun night with raffles for great prizes!
Anyone from here want to meet up and ride out there Friday evening??

Like you said Hanley, many families are affected to some degree with the disease nowadays. I don't know the statistics, but I'm sure it's high!
My brother-in-law passed from complications due to the disease, and I have 2 other brother-in-laws who have the disease as well.

I'm type 1 ... she's type 2 .... her mom is also a type 2.... this thing can and will kill if proper care is not taken ..... you may loose eye sight .... maybe even limbs ... kidneys may fail.... a life of dialysis after that...maybe even death...yes cease to exsist..... a few major complications to think about .... hopefully some from here will help this young lady by attending this event .... and I hope and pray the members will not have to attend or have to hold an event for me or any other member ......
