Foundation of Canada. The walk, which is being experimented with in three locations across Ontario this year, has been in the organizational stages since January.

"We‘re hoping for 500 but we‘d love to see 1,000," says LInda who would also love to be able to hand over a $50,000 cheque to the Juvenile Diabetes In the Burlington/Hamilton chapter, which Ball calls grassroots, board memâ€" bers are committee members and committee members are fundraisers. Everyone pitches in to organize all major fundraising activities from the May (Stationary) Bikeathon to the April Spring Fling Dance and now the ‘trial‘ Walk for the Cure on Sun. Oct. 2nd in Hamilton. "We need volunteers," says Linda, who welcomes anyone who has "a couple of hours a week, one day a week or one day a month." "Although the controls are fantastic, a cure has to be found," says Linda, a longtime Oakville resident who is entering her second year as president of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation of Canada Burlington/Hamilton chapter. *‘Basically that‘s the chapter‘s whole reason for being is fundâ€"raising. Linda says the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation of Canada has labelled the 90‘s the decade for the cure. "This is a goal," says Linda, who started working bingos for the foundation‘s Hamilton/Burlington chapter and wound up its president six months later. The first complication which set in for her husband was the loss of his eyeâ€" sight. Surgery to halt the damage was unsuccessful and he lost the sight in one eye and 25% of vision in the other. Failure of his kidneys forced Bill to undergo dialysis for 18 months before he was fortunate enough to undergo a successful kidney transplant at St. Joseph‘s Hospital in Hamilton six years ago which "improved the quality of his life a lot." But simultaneously, along with all these other complications, heart disease set in and claimed Bill‘s life two years ago "It was the toughest thing I‘ve ever lived through," says Linda. "If you‘re sick yourself, you‘re in control...but there‘s nothing you can do except be supâ€" portive." _ Despite her grief, perhaps to ease it, Linda became involved with the organiâ€" zation committed to raising funds for research into the disease which ravaged her husband. "Basically, until the complications set in, life was fairly normal," says Linda of the early years of her marriage when Bill had to watch his diet, inject insulin and monitor his blood sugar. "The research they‘re doing now centres around complications..some people are more prone to them than others." Statistics such as this reinforce the fact that insulin, although a miracle in itself, is not a cure, says Linda. With her vows, she plunged blindfolded into the world of a diabetic, admitâ€" tedly a more frightening and unpredictable place 20 years ago. Substantial progress has been made, thanks in part to more than $24â€"million in contributions to research by the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation of Canada, but diabetes is still a disease which affects more than 1.5 million Canadians, more than 150,000 of those juvenile diabetics. More has been discovered about this chronic metabolic disorder in the last two decades than since the time insulin was discovered in 1921, yet diabetes sufâ€" ferers are still twice as likely to die of heart disease, five times as likely to have a stroke and the death rate from kidney disease is 500 times higher in young adults with diabetes. By KATHY YANCHUS Oakville Beaver Staff ee weeks before Bill Ball was to I marry Linda, he told her he had diabetes. "He was so scared I wouldn‘t want to marry him because he knew he would never grow old," says Linda who exchanged rings with her fiance in 1973 when both were in their early 20‘s. Until that moment, Linda knew nothâ€" ing of the disease which had been diagâ€" nosed in her husband at the age of four. 3rd Line Rebecca Street, Oakville MOFR Products give you better portraits. _ For Customer Service, call 1â€"800â€"438â€"8861.
