For Roddy Scott, born October 5, 1974
It was my brother’s birthday, 31 years ago today. I didn’t think October 5 would become a sad day in my lifetime, but he died suddenly this March from a lethal complication of Type 1 (aka juvenile) diabetes--diabetic ketoacidosis. In pursuit of a cure for this terrible disease, Rod’s network of friends and family have raised about $40K in his name so far. (See links below to find out more.) This photo is of Rod enjoying his 30th birthday last year. His good friend Jere arranged for a monkey to deliver a birthday card on the set of an MTV promo he was directing. The monkey delivered the card & jumped into his arms.

Cintra, thank you. The photo and text and links are a great way to remember your brother's birthday and do a bit for the cure.
Ahhh, always makes me smile too!!!He was SO HAPPY that day. I will never forget it... or my wonderful friend. I loved him so very much. Thank you so much for posting this. Love to you and Ian. We WILL find a cure!
This didn't get missed, Cintra. Hugs.
