Wanda, Thanks for your story and support. We will have great event again
this year. Let me know if there is anything I can do with your business unit to help you. Mike Wanda Chalk@ENRON_DEVELOPMENT 09/11/2000 09:04 AM To: Mike McConnell/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Juvenile Diabetes Foundation Fundraising Mike: You can certainly count on my support. My son Brandon Johnson was diagnosis with JD when he was 11 years old. Needless to say my family was traumatised by the event, however my son handled it like a trooper. He is now 16 years old and has very good days with his blood sugar, but then he has his bad ones as well. I have walked since he was first diagnosed with JD and will continue to provide my support. Thx Wanda ---------------------- Forwarded by Wanda Chalk/ENRON_DEVELOPMENT on 09/11/2000 09:00 AM --------------------------- From: Mike McConnell @ ENRON 09/08/2000 09:59 PM Sent by: Enron Announcements@ENRON To: All Enron Houston cc: Subject: Juvenile Diabetes Foundation Fundraising It is my sincere honor to once again lead the Enron team in this year's Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (JDF) walk scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 5, 2000, at the Sam Houston Race Park. I continue to serve on the board of JDF representing Enron and will be Enron's corporate executive for this year's fundraising efforts. As many of you may already know, I am an insulin dependent diabetic myself. Even though I know how difficult this disease can be to manage with the multiple finger pricks for blood samples and several shots each day, I cannot imagine how difficult it is for a small child with this disease. Taking insulin does not cure the disease nor prevent the development of complications; insulin is simply their life support system and without it they would die. Enron continues to be a major corporate sponsor for JDF again this year. JDF is a very efficient organization in which approximately 84% of all money raised goes directly to research. Enron's goal this year is to raise $225,000 and we need your help. Enron has been the number 1 walk team for 5 years in a row and we are not ready to give up first place! We need team leaders, walkers and volunteers to help us reach our goal. The theme for the walk this year is "Knock Out Diabetes" and we would like to have you join us for this great event. The Walk is truly a blast and we had about 500 Enron people participate last year and everyone enjoyed it. If you are interested in volunteering to be a walker or a team leader, or if you would like to make a pledge, you may call any of the steering committee members listed below. If you are interested in being a team leader, please contact one of the following people immediately so that you may be included in the first important and informative training session taking place this week. Thank you very much for your support.
