Stomp Out
Diabetes Event
On Nov. 12

T

he American Diabetes
Association will host its sec-
ond Stomp Out Diabetes Wine
Tasting Benefit on Wednesday, Nov. 12, at
7 p.m. at the Radisson Kingsley Hotel in
Bloomfield Township. This educational
night of enjoyment will inform guests
of the dangers of
diabetes while rais-
ing funds for the
American Diabetes
Association's Camp
Midicha.
"We are fortunate
to have the larg-
est ADA camp in
the country right
here," said Deb O'Leary, senior execu-
tive director of the American Diabetes
Association's Michigan/Northwest Ohio
office. "Ours is also the only camp in
Michigan designed for and dedicated to
children and teens with diabetes."
"My own personal involvement in the
Camp Midicha program over the years has
rejuvenated me in my practice of endo-
crinologY,' said Gary Edelson, M.D., of
Franklin. "It is heartwarming and inspir-
ing to see children with a chronic disease
such as diabetes live with others in the
camp environment for a week and feel like
there is nothing wrong with them."
Edelson has volunteered at the camp
during these past summers. During that
time, he is the chief medical person on
staff, and assists with all aspects of the
children's diabetic needs. He initiated
the fundraiser to pair his love assisting
children, and enjoying good wines with
friends and family.
Diabetes is the leading cause of kid-
ney disease, blindness, and amputation;
nearly 23 million people in the United
States have diabetes. Yet one-fourth
of people who have it are unaware.
Diabetes is the sixth leading cause of
death by disease in the U.S.
Event tickets are $125 per person, or
$650 per person, which provides one
admission into the event and sends one
child (without financial means) to Camp
Midicha. For tickets or additional informa-
tion about Stomp Out Diabetes, contact
Kristi Domke, (888) 342-2383, ext. 6720 or
