Join me in the fight to cure, better treat and prevent type 1 diabetes!

As you may or may not know, I was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of 11 and have been battling with the disease since.  If you ask anyone with T1D, they will tell you it is difficult and life threatening.  And they know more than anything, it never goes away. This year, I'm planning to bike 111 MILES in Arizona in JDRF's Ride to Cure Diabetes, along with hundreds of other riders across the country to improve the lives of all people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). Above is a picture of me and my dad after he completed a similar century ride in my honor the year after I was diagnosed with T1D. 

I am asking for your support in this endeavour.  Please donate to my personal fundraising efforts.  By doing so, you can help me make a difference for millions of people living with type 1 diabetes.

Did you know that:

• T1D is an autoimmune disease that comes on suddenly and strikes both children and adults at any age?
• T1D has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle?
• Those living with T1D must carefully balance insulin doses with eating and daily activities throughout the day and night?
• Those living with T1D must test their blood sugar by pricking their fingers for blood 6 or more times a day?

As the leader of the type 1 diabetes community, JDRF unifies global efforts to cure, treat and prevent T1D.  JDRF will not rest until T1D is fully conquered.  Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible?

Thank you for your support!
