My Story…


Although a few years have passed since I ran the Falmouth Road Race, I'm excited to run August 16th and celebrate my 40th year living with Type 1 Diabetes as a member of the Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) team.  


Living with Type 1 involves much more than watching what you eat -- it's balancing finger sticks, insulin pumps, disturbed sleeps, syringes, multiple doctors appointments, blood tests, disturbed work meetings, juice boxes, high blood sugar headaches, dizziness, sweats and exhaustion. 


There is NEVER a day off, but support from family and friends helps make my day to day more manageable.


Although improvements in technology have helped make living with diabetes more manageable, there is still a long way to go for people like me.


Please consider donating to help me and the Breakthrough T1D team come one step closer to finding a cure!


As always, thank you for your support. See you along the way!! 🏃‍♀️ 👟 💙

Description

Welcome to my personal Breakthrough T1D fundraising page!

I have joined Breakthrough T1D to raise funds for the millions of people living with and affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). The money I raise will help Breakthrough T1D 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.

Breakthrough T1D 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 Breakthrough T1D is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you.

The challenge I have set for myself — to raise money for Breakthrough T1D and to race — is modest compared to the daily challenges of life with T1D, which involves a 24/7, unrelenting cycle of blood sugar testing and insulin injections to manage the disease.

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 Breakthrough T1D as generously as possible today?

Thank you for your support!
