Help Charles raise money

For participating in 2024 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

Join me in the fight to create a world without type 1 diabetes!

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation has been a very valued and influential resource for my family and many others. Since our kiddo, Oliver, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2022 at age 5, he has been a constant advocate, supporter, and fundraiser for JDRF. He is frequently linking up with other families and friends while spreading awareness about this cause. Please consider supporting our next step (actually many, many steps throughout the course of this marathon!) while we help JDRF's mission to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent, and treat T1D and its complications. Thank you!

-Charles, Kristen, and Oliver Richey

Description

Welcome to my personal Team JDRF to Cure Diabetes fundraising page!

I have joined Team JDRF to raise funds for the millions of people living with and affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). The money I raise will help JDRF fund critical research to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people's lives until no one has to fear developing the disease.

Type 1 diabetes is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to the ability to get energy from food. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure.

JDRF is the largest nongovernmental funder of T1D research and the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. This science is complex and costly, and every dollar JDRF is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you.

Please support me and donate to my fundraising campaign. Your gift will make a difference for millions of people affected by this devastating, life-threatening disease. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible today?

Thank you for your support!

Thank You Donors
