Lola's Team Angels Benefit May 1st

Forwarding for Fred Wolfe Fan Club:

My granddaughter Lola, at the age of two (2), was diagnosed with Juvenile (Type I) Diabetes. She is now four (4) years old. On a normal day, her blood sugar levels must constantly be checked by pricking her fingers a minimum of six (6) times per day and she has to have at least six (6) shots of insulin per day. Also, she must maintain a tightly controlled diet and scheduled food intake. Worst of all, this disease carries with it the risk of life-threatening complications. Many people who have Type I Diabetes die prematurely. Diabetes is part of Lola’s everyday life.

Last year Lola's family held a charity benefit to help fund research towards finding a cure for juvenile diabetes. We were fortunate enough to raise $10,000 (net) for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

The fight continues to find a cure. This year a benefit will be held at the San Marino Club in Troy, Michigan on May 1st. Due to a conflict, Fred Wolfe will not be participating this year, but he encourages all his fans to do what they can to help in funding research to find a cure for my granddaughter and thousands like her.
