Sunday, May 4th dawned a bright and beautiful sunny day. The participiants in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk-a-Thon couldn't have ordered up a prettier day. We joined with thousands of others down on the National Mall for the three mile walk to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes Research.
 
For those of you who contributed, we thank you. Thus far, the total raised by The Striders is approximately $6,000. But it's not too late. If you haven't yet taken the opportunity to contribute, now is the time. Simply follow this link CWA Local 2108 Striders to the JDRF website, under the support a walker box type in the team name, CWA Local 2108 Striders, choose your favorite walker and contribute. We'll appreciate it, but more importantly, all those who suffer with diabetes will thank you.
