Cheri's Personal Page

Welcome to my personal JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraising page!  I'll be taking part in this year?s Walk to raise funds to improve the lives of all people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D).  If you ask people with T1D, they will tell you it is difficult and life threatening.  And they know it never goes away.

I am asking for your support.  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!

This is my story!

My name is Cheri Lyn Lucore and I have Diabetes I was diagnosed the day after my sweet sixteenth birthday. I have had to use insulin my whole life. When you are diagnosed at that age you don't think it matters. Well, I was wrong and now It is hard work to keep my sugars under control. I want people to know that this is a serious thing and it affects millions of people and more people everyday. Could you imagine getting told you have diabetes and you have to use needles everyday to keep it under control and you are scared of needles.. That's what I was very scared of at that age. I hated everything about having diabetes. But now I just live with it and deal with it cause as of right now it is the only choice I have till they find a cure! Please help me in my efforts to raise money for this cause.. Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful day or night whatever time it is when you read this!
