Remember these faces from my flower girl posts?
Well, the older of the two lovlies, Ella, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes about a year ago. Yep, that precious little blonde muffin is stuck with needles and pain and sugar-free everything. Forever.
Unless.
Unless a cure can be found within her lifetime. And people, that's not a far-fetched dream. Millions of people are affected by Type 1, but, as with any disease, the kiddos dealing with it are the most heartbreaking. Ella is such a trooper (not to mention her parents!), even marching herself to the nurse to get injections in this, her first grade year of school.
Ella and her family are walking for a cure at the Mall of America in Minnesota again this year, and if you are so inclined, make a donation to support them and the cause as a whole. Just click the link and it will take you to The Prose Family team where you can donate any (ahem: tax deductible) amount you wish, high or low.

Every penny counts, for Ella and for everyone touched by Type 1 Diabetes. Please help if you can!
