Ron also took some pictures. Here is his note to us and Below is the link to his online photo album!

Thank you for supporting a very worthy cause. Not only does Diabetes affects 24 million Americans; unfortunately it affects Chinese too. In fact, Chinese Americans are at a much higher risk, especially those that have moved from the Far East to the states. Increasing awareness (prevention) and funding diabetes research are what necessary to curb and to cure this chronic disease state. Thank you again for your time and support! Just want to share some of these photos with you guys. Have a great week! Ron
