Walk to Cure Diabetes

I’m writing to ask for your support for a very special cause.

This year, I’ll be taking part in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes, along with a half-million others nationwide. Our goal: to raise $94 million to fund research for better treatments and a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.

Our niece, Anna Felder, was diagnosed at the age of 10 –it is very sad to see how she has to live — giving herself shot several times a day, checking her “sugar” several times a day — please help me in my desire to find a cure for Juvenie Diabetes.

I’m asking you to help support my fundraising efforts with a donation. Your tax-deductible gift will help make a difference in the lives of people with type 1 diabetes.

It is faster and easier than ever to donate. Simply click on the link at the bottom of this message to donate online. If you prefer, you can mail your gift check to me at the address listed below. Please make the check out to JDRF and include my name in the “Memo” section.

1341 Venning Rd
Mt Pleasant, SC 29464-9419

Any amount, great or small, helps JDRF get closer to its goal of finding better treatments and a cure for type 1 diabetes. I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

Sincerely,
Liz Loadholt

A Trip to Remember

Posted on March 2, 2011 by Mama Liz

Update on Liza Valero.

From this  Liza Loadholt Valero

to this in just a few months  Liza Valero.

It’s called “cancer”  –

This has definitely been a trip to remember for Liza and our family and it isn’t over yet.

However, she had her last chemo treatment yesterday  — Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She will start her radiation treatments in 3-4 weeks.

As soon as we can get her through this next week of pain, we are definitely going to celebrate —

Please learn from Liza and others — take care of yourself — you women, please have regular mammograms – –and if you should end up with cancer, please seriously consider a double mastectomy — it could save your life.

For some, it is hard to imagine your life changing so dramatically so fast.  It’s called  ”cancer”.

Lately, I have heard about so many friends who are being diagnosed with “cancer” — different types —

  • Breast Cancer
  • Lung Cancer
  • Prostate Cancer
  • Bone Cancer
  • Colon Cancer
  • Brain Tumor

All of these are cancers that our agent-owners have been  diagnosed with just in the last few months.

The positive side of all this is –

  • thank goodness treatment is so much better today — doctors can do so much more today.
  • it makes you realize how important today is — spend time with your loved ones –
  • it brings a family closer together

Dear God, please cure cancer today. I wear a bracelet 24-7 with this message — I cannot forget to say this prayer everyday. Please join me with this prayer.

Most Touching Letter

Posted on February 7, 2011 by Mama Liz

Today, I received a small package in the mail — I looked it over and thought “I didn’t order anything from this place” — the place is  1MillionCancerPrayers in MN.

I opened the envelope and 2 bracelets fell out — I’m thinking “where did these come from and why” —   then I saw what I thought was a packing slip and when the paper came out, it was a letter.

A letter from Linsey Dolder – the letter started out

“Dear Liz,

My name is Linsey Dolder and I recently started 1MillionCancerPrayers.com in an effort to raise money to help find a cure for cancer.  I have been following you on Twitter and reading your blog regularly. Obviously, cancer as affected your family and I am very sorry to hear about Liza,.  She is in our thoughts and prayers.”

Then she stated later in the letter that she was sending 2 bracelets — one for Liza andCure Cancer one for me — “in hopes that it gives you strength and inspires the people around you”.  The bracelets are inscribed with “Dear God, please cure cancer today”.

This was one of the nicest things that has happened to me — an emotional thing — it has really touched me that a “social friend”, who I don’t really know,would do this —

Thank you, Linsey for making my day. May God bless you and your efforts to “cure cancer”.

If any of you reading this post are interested, go to 1MillionCancerPrayers.com.

Just Two More To Go

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Mama Liz

Update on Liza

Liza just finished a Chemo treatment today — she now only has 2 more Chemo treatments to go.

Chemo

This chemical that she is getting now affects her joints — she is in a lot of pain because of it.  Otherwise, she is not feeling that badly.  Actually, after today, she will be able to take medicine for the joint pain, so she will be good.

She is really quite the trooper — so positive and upbeat.  We are really proud of her.

Just 2 more and she is done —Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then, we will face the radiation — Liza says that she is not worried about the radiation at all.
Thanks again to everyone who has included Liza in their prayers — prayer does work and her family all really appreciates them.

Flu Season

Posted on January 23, 2011 by Mama Liz
Liz Loadholt with the flu

Liz with the flu or something???

Oh, yes — flu season is here — if you don’t believe it, just ask someone at the Loadholt household. What is the flu? According to FLU F.A.C.T.S., “the flu, more scientifically known as influenza, is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses. The influenza virus usually enters the body through mucus membranes in the mouth, nose or eyes. When a person with the flu coughs or sneezes, the virus then becomes airborne and can be inhaled by anyone nearby. You can also get the flu if you’ve touched a contaminated surface like a telephone or a door knob, and then touch your nose or mouth. Of course the risk of infection is greater in highly populated areas like schools, buses and crowded urban settings.”

Is It a Cold or the Flu?

The cold and flu are both respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different types of viruses with different symptoms. Use this chart to learn the difference between the two. (Chart provided by FLU F.A.C.T.S.)

Signs and Symptoms Influenza Cold
Fever Usually present Rare
Aches Usual, often severe Slight
Chills Fairly common Uncommon
Tiredness Moderate to severe Mild
Symptom onset Symptoms can appear within 3 to 6 hours Symptoms appear gradually
Coughing Dry, unproductive cough Hacking, productive cough
Sneezing Uncommon Common
Stuffy nose Uncommon Common
Sore throat Uncommon Common
Chest discomfort Often severe Mild to moderate
Headache Common Uncommon
After consulting the above chart, I have decided that Boyd and Claude definitely have the flu — on the other hand, I seem to be in between — so, probably, I just have a very bad cold — or maybe a little of both. All 3 of us are on medicines, though. But it is so weird that Boyd (hubby), Claude (son) and I all got the initial symptoms the same day  – also, Linda Vincent (admin in my office) got it as the same time.
Well, last Tuesday at a management meeting, our I.T. guy (Stokes Gramling), was coughing and did not feel well.  The next day, he was home with fever and chills and was diagnosed with the A strain of the flu. Poor Stokes — he did not know he was sick or he would not have come to the management meeting.
I have to believe that the rest of us started from that meeting on Tuesday — According to the FLU F.A.C.T.S., “Symptoms generally appear 1 to 4 days after exposure to the virus.”
Of course, we have definitely stayed away from daughter, Liza and her family.  Liza certainly does not need to get the flu — see Liza’s first chemo treatment.
Oh, well — just a part of life — all is well that ends well –am sure that all of us will be back at work tomorrow.
