WELCOME!
Let's call this the "archives site"! I thought we could include all of Jody's messages for those who may have missed some! |
Jody's Mission Statement
This summer, around August 20, 2001, I will be departing from Lake Itasca in Northern Minnesota, at the starting point of the Mississippi River, my destination being the mouth of the river near New Orleans if all goes as planned. This journey will be both difficult and dangerous but, at the same time, a journey of great self-exploration. I have chosen to dedicate my trip to raising awareness and money for the American Diabetes Association. This 2,340 mile trip will be the trip of a lifetime. Unfortunately, for many with diabetes, a trip such as this would be impossible due to medical and logistical reasons. I come to you on behalf of our 16 million fellow Americans who deal with diabetes every day. More than 180,000 Americans die from diabetes each year and millions more suffer amputations, heart or kidney disease, blindness, and many of the other life-threatening complications. The American Diabetes Association is committed to raising money for research for a cure for diabetes, and I am committed to helping them fulfill their mission. If you would like to support this effort, I encourage you to send a donation to:
American Diabetes Assn.
1701 N. Beauregard St.
Alexandria, VA 22311
Please write "In honor of Joseph Bowman" on your check. If you wish to receive updates of my progress, send me your e-mail address or check this site periodically.
Thanks,
Joseph Bowman
