Join me in the fight to create a world without type 1 diabetes!
It's time again....fundraise to help cure Diabetes! JDRF is a charity near and dear to us. One of the first things Carter received in the hospital was a bookbag filled with supplies, books, and Rufus bear...the bear with diabetes where you can practice giving injections! He has to live with this everyday....pump changes, pump failures, highs, lows, carb counting, etc....it is never ending. However, technology has come a long way in helping to ease the burden of the daily maintenance. Your donations help with this!!
I was convinced to run the half marathon this year. Am I going to run the whole thing, probably not...but I'll give it my best! Last year, I ran as part of the relay team and we raised over $1000 as a team for JDRF. I hope to raise at least $500 this year individually! If you feel inclined to give, and little bit helps!
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!
