Join me in the fight to create a world without type 1 diabetes!
Hello!
I will be running in the Pittsburgh Marathon on Sunday May 5th, 2024. I am doing this in support of all those living with Type 1 Diabetes like myself. Having Type 1 Diabetes has given me strength, has made me aware of who I am, how I want to take care of myself, and the effort I have to put in to keep myself healthy. Managing diabetes is hard. It is more than just a physical condition, it's mental and emotional too. I won't be able to do this marathon alone. With your prayers and support we will find a cure for this disease someday!

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!
