2011 JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes

Dan Jackson — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 02:04:18 +0000

The annual Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s “Walk to Cure” is coming up in October. Collectively, our team “Maximum Rays of Hope” has raised thousands of dollars towards finding a cure for Type I Diabetes over the past few years.

This year, I’ll be taking part in JDRF’s Walk to Cure Diabetes, along with one-half million other walkers across the country, as we try to reach our goal of raising $89 million. Type 1, or juvenile diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people, a large and growing percentage of them children. There is some good news, though. JDRF is our best hope for finding a cure. It funds more type 1 diabetes research than any other charity worldwide and it’s making progress along many promising paths toward better treatments and a cure. Now, more than ever, you can make a crucial difference. Won’t you please give to JDRF as generously as possible? Together, we can make the cure a reality!

Help fund the advance of Type I Diabetes treatment and progress towards a cure by donating here.

Thank you.

1982 Honda CB 750 Restoration Project

Dan Jackson — Fri, 09 May 2008 10:22:31 +0000

During a quick weekend trip down to Connecticut I ended up running into someone who wanted to get rid of an old Honda CB motorcycle. This is a true “garage find” with all the original parts intact and less than 5,500 miles. This will be my 2nd vintage bike restoration, the first one being a 1978 Honda CB 550. Although I’ve been in the market for another late 70′s CB this free 1982 was just too hard to pass up!

Here is the priority list… we’ll see how quickly we’re able to make it through this:

Carb Rebuild
Gas Tank Electrolysis and Sealant
Replace Piston Rings, Head Gasket, Battery, Tires
Fix Front Brakes
Seat/Handlebars Customization

What a great way to start off 2008. Below are some of the highlights from a day of riding at Stowe, Vermont. In the morning we took advantage of the sunny groomers… in the afternoon we hiked to the summit of Mansfield and took a run down the Rock Garden.
