Help Joelle 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!

This is Joelle's second year running in the kid's marathon. She is nine years old, one of four children, a wonderful dancer and competitive fast pitch player. She really loves preparing for the race with the Mars Kids of Steel team but she also runs to honor her cousin Mia also 9. Mia has been living with Type 1 Diabetes since she was 4 years old. Joelle wishes to dedicate her run to Mia and all kids living with Type 1. She hopes you will help her reach her fundraising goal for JDRF and that her efforts will lead you to JDRF's page https://www.jdrf.org/  to learn more about how this effects so many, build some awareness and help get another step closer to a world free of Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes!  

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!
