Well this morning I dropped an envelope in the mailbox with checks totaling $300! I’m very pleased with the results of this years fundraising drive. I received a very large number of donations from ex-PixelMEDIA, Inc. employees. Thanks everyone.
I want to also give a big shout-out to my very talented friends (also past co-workers) over at Lightfin Studios for their generous donation. Thanks guys!

It’s that time again. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) Community Campaign for Diabetes. Last year I participated in this and raised about $150-200 (can’t remember exact figure). That number was doubled by LifeScan (I think). This year Splenda is lined up to double all proceeds, up to $50,000.
The ADA does amazing things each and every year. I have been diabetic since I was 11 (turning 30 in about 2 months). I live a considerably better life today largely due to research made possible by the ADA. About two years ago I was finally in a position to begin using an insulin pump (from Animas). It was the best move I ever made. My A1c went from an insanely high 8.9 down to around 6.2 in about 3 months. Ever since I have been able to keep up that sort of consistency, thankfully.
If anyone is interested in donating, I have setup my PayPal account to accept credit card and debit card payments. You can get started by heading over here and send money to kyleheon @ gmail dot com. I promise you that any and all donations received will be sent to the ADA.

Well a few weeks back I blogged about collecting funds for this years Campaign for a Cure diabetes drive.
Tonight I sent out the donations that I’d collected. Surprisingly I think we did pretty good, with donations from 9 people total (including myself) we raised $180.

Friends and family members will know that I’ve been diabetic now for nearly 20 years. That’s nearly two-thirds my life. Last summer my brother kindly road in the Tour de Cure and raised a respectable sum of money.
This year I’ve been asked (courtesy of my Tour de Cure donation) to raise money for Campaign for a Cure fundraiser.
I will be sending out letters to some friends and family, only a few though as I only get about 10 envelopes and fundraiser sheets but wanted to extend an invite to anyone that is interested in donating: family or friend and even complete stranger.
If anyone is interested in donating, contact me at this@kyleheon.com (or the link in the footer) and I can arrange for a way to receive funds (possibly snail mail or PayPal (assuming my account is still active).
Thanks in advance.
