JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes "Rock Out Diabetes" Concert
1 November 2008 - 10:00am
A rare chance to see Curt in concert!
Join Curt and 15,000 caring others in raising over $2 million for Type 1 diabetes research!
The 5-K Walk begins at 10am, after which there will be a concert with acts including Curt Smith, Jetstream and Ralph Oyaga.
Both Charlton's daughter Georgica and Curt's manager Arlene's son Ben have Type 1 (also known as Juvenile or insulin-dependent) diabetes, which is an incurable auto-immune disease in which the body loses its ability to produce insulin.
Please consider supporting our team, "Curt's KOOKs for Georgica and Ben." You can sign up to walk with the team, and/or make a tax-deductible contribution, using the link below:

I would LOVE to join and be on your team. I just don't think that I am really wanted on this team. Maybe I will do an individual walk so I don't stay where I am not wanted. I will ALWAYS do something for Diabetes, CHF and Alzheimers because of my TATA, who passed away on September 2, 2008 from complications of all 3 and a mess up by the hospital. I am still sad, devastated and heartbroken. But, I am trying to harness all of that into these 3 things. That way, my deep love and admiration for my tata, will be in a new, positive forum. I am so sorry about Arlene's son and charleton's daughter. I know we can make a difference.

My friend Jack Mosley a two time award winning Hall of Fame trainer of the year and trainer of his son 4 time world champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley has committed to walking on Arlenes' team, he even has told several people about it ! Jack has diebetes and has been looking for a charity to support and give back too ,I recommended he participate in the walk , his son Shane recently threw out the 1st pitch at Dodger stadium with him and beat Mayorga by a 12th round knockout ! Jack is a huge Curtis Mayfield fan and I let him know about Curt Smiths prior Mayfield work.Jack and his wife Selmmie are also going on Oct. 21 to see Curt perform with my wife Rachel and I.
I just spoke to my work, they are going to ask the founder and president of my company, Ace Capital Group, to sponsor me for this walk, since I am his agent and he is a multi millionaire and it is for a good cause. And, because I asked. They know about my grandpa, we call TATA. So, we'll see, and i am hoping for the best. I will do my best to walk, although with a plastic tibia and a bolt holding my left leg together I am not sure how much I can do. I am also obese so that makes it even harder. I will do as much as i can, donation wise and on that day.
