Join me in the fight to create a world without type 1 diabetes!
I have decided to really challenge myself this year and sign up for the Pittsburgh Marathon. For those of you that know me, you know that I am not a runner and that I use to see running as a punishment. But with having 3 kiddos at home, I have challenged myself to improve my health and wellness.
Our most valuable commodity is our time and I want to make sure I have as much time as possible with my family. One of the best ways to add years to your life is by running and living a healthy life.
Diabetes does not make that an easy task, so that is why I am partnering with JDRF. JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Their strength lies in their exclusive focus and singular influence on the worldwide effort to end T1D.I have been Diabetic since I was 7 years old and it at times has been my identity. I am hoping that one day, that is not the case for any type 1 diabetics.
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!
