[before you go on, my wife has had Type 1 diabetes for 9 years now, this is an incredible personal cause and hope you support it]
Google has niftily doodled a fun Google logo for celebrating causes and “days” throughout the year. World Diabetes Day is coming up, November 14th, and it would be bang up to score one for the sugar free.
To get one past the geeks at Google, TuDiabetes and Diabetes Daily have put forth a petition to show the support for a Diabetes Doodle. The goal is 20,000 signatures. If you have the minute swing by and drop your details off. Then send it to some one.

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month – The Big Picture – Boston.com
There are a few things I never wish to say to my son. Asking him if he is going to be brave is one. That is what Diana’s dad is saying to her in this picture.
I have ranted once before on the the way you feel when you have a kid, how it changes. I know that even a few months after having Sam things were still easily pushed aside. But once you know them, and they begin to know you, seeing these things make you wince and twist a bit inside. Luckily I am in a hole of an office so people can’t witness me crying like a little bitch.
It got to me.
I hope I never have to go through what these parents are bravely struggling through. I would make some pretty evil, Faustian deals to avoid that fate for my child. I wish everyone of them luck and hope.
Here are a few sites listed by those in the pictures:
The Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation (CNCF)
A New Year of Hope
People Against Childhood Cancer
God’s Perfect Plan for Myla
[The Big Picture is a great collection of stories as told by photo. The Boston Globe has done a tremendous job and it is a must read in my rss list.]
