Welcome!

Thank you for visiting our brand new Team Shelby web site!

This is the first of what we hope is a series of exciting additions to the Team Shelby experience for 2004.

This is truly a labor of love intended to make it easier for you -- the members of Team Shelby -- to get information about diabetes, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and what we're up to here at Team Shelby.

Today is the kickoff of 2004 fund-raising for Team Shelby and the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes being held in Walnut Creek, Calif., on Oct. 3. Team representatives gathered today at the Marriott hotel in San Ramon, Calif., along with hundreds of people from the walk's corporate sponsors to launch the 2004 campaign. We'll post more information about the kickoff after Liz returns.

The Team Shelby webmaster (Scott) will update this site regularly from Team Shelby HQ (our laundry room/office) with fund-raising tips, news about the latest in diabetes research, and other information to keep everyone plugged in. We hope this site will be both fun and informative. It may even give you cause to pause and reflect from time to time on the inherent challenges in fighting diabetes.

We've created this as a 'blog' so anyone can comment on any of the 'posts' listed here. We hope you all will feel free to participate in this site and send us your thoughts and questions. From time to time, we'll post answers to common questions and links to resources to help you both feel comfortable as a team member and arm you with the accurate information you need to share with your family, friends and co-workers.

This is going to be an amazing year for Team Shelby. We're all very excited about the Olympic theme of this year's campaign.

Thanks again for visiting our site. Come back often and refer the URL to anyone you feel may be interested in Team Shelby.
