My Mom has been diabetic since age 6, and my son's best friend also developed diabetes at a young age...

My best friend's daughter has cystic fibrosis, and I highly recommend http://www.cff.org/home/ and

No matter what you choose thank you for being thoughtful enough to make a donation.

Ronald McDonald House, Special Olympics and LLL.

We've had to spend several nights (weeks, actually) at various RMHs due to DD#1 hospitalizations and have been grateful. Say what you will about the McDonalds food and business policies, RMH is awesome.

We have a nephew who participates in Special Olympics each year even though DD will probably never be able to do so (her challenges are many and profound), it is also an awesome organization.

And I totally agree with LLL.

Thank you all so much for taking the time to give me your input. For April, we'll be making a donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation through the "Great Strides Walk" on May 29. (Wendi has more information on this that she'd be glad to send you, I"m sure.)

Thanks again, and please feel free to add to this thread with more ideas, or PM me if you'd rather.

Since I had some good friends who used Ronald McDonald house I HAVE to say that if I am ever in a position to donate this is where my $ will go.My friends who used them were treated so wonderfull and there were so many touching people who entered their lives through the RMH.
They told me about an older lady who lived next to one of the houses who used to bring flowers from her garden and would sometimes bring pies for the families.

Ahhh warm fuzzy!
