Our beautiful and spirited daughter Ali suffered from type 1 insulin dependant diabetes for over 25 years and crossed over at 48 years of age from a multitude of complications of this horrible disease. Right now diabetes is far too profitable to cure. But there is HOPE on the horizon as legions of people with diabetes are now becoming more and more fed up, and just plain sick and tired, of the never ending "newer and better" gee-gaws sold to "control" this and that aspect of this deadly disease. We don’t need ever bigger, and ever more profitable, patchwork solutions. WE NEED A CURE! People with diabetes, their families and friends are no longer gullible enough to try to flag down a fighter jet full of diabetic complications with just a candle. We WILL instead be shining klieg lights worldwide, and RIGHT NOW, on the complications of this relentless killer disease, and we will settle for nothing less than A CURE! The Rally for Ali is to be held on Sunday, October 11, 2009 ~ Columbus Day Weekend ~ in Troy, NY. All are welcome to attend this celebration of Ali's vivacious life ~ while at the same time knowing that the overriding reason for her Rally is to raise money for research, as that is what our courageous little Ali would want. All donations received will be sent to Harvard Stem Cell Institute where dedicated scientists are working feverishly to find a cure for diabetes so that future generations will never have to suffer from its heartbreaking complications. God Bless all those who join us in this very worthy Rally ~ OUR CAUSE. We love you to pieces Ali Baba ~ always have and always will.
