Maria already took "Thank You" as her title, so I had to go international.

This past weekend is one of the most important of the year for FOX 25.  For several years, we've had a partnership with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, more commonly known as JDRF.  I remember the first meeting in our "old" building in a conference room on the second floor.  It is there I first met Heidi Daniels, the fireball in charge of all of this.  She is tireless, and she and her staff deserve so much of our thanks for all they have done.  It was soon after that meeting that the station decided that there was no doubt that JDRF and FOX 25 would be a perfect match.  We haven't stopped since.  The big event is the walk that was held this past Saturday at the Hatch Shell and around the Charles River.  It was a pleasure to meet many new faces, and to see many of the same faces we see every year.  Of course, this is just one event we participate in with JDRF, but it is the most public.  The generosity of those involved is overwhelming, and the collective heart shown by those with this disease, thier families and friends, is beyond words. 

Congratulations on a successful event, and thank you for letting us be a part of it all.

So you all know, A.J. did indeed get married Saturday afternoon.  The wedding was a blast.  I'll leave it for him to blog about further. 

Make sure you check out the JDRF pictures... I'm the gut with the FOX 25 Hat on.
