(PRWEB) August 6, 2004 -- Bill Hatswell, President of Craftsman Collision, hands the $10,000 donation to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundations (JDRF) Deborah Cushing. Craftsman Collisions participation in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes on May 30th was coordinated by Erika Hatswell (not present in photo); who made the goal of raising $10,000 for the cause a reality.

JDRF funds research worldwide for a cure for juvenile (Type 1) diabetes and has provided more than $800 million in funding since its inception. Type 1 diabetes generally threatens children, making them insulin dependant for life and at risk of serious complications.

Employees of Craftsman Collision and their families showed strong support for the cause, collecting donations and participating in the walk with Erika Hatswell -- also diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
