Andrew'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 know this because I have T1D. 

I was diagnosed in 2007 when I was only 6 years old.  My life went from doing and eating whatever I wanted to counting carbs and doing shots.  While I've accepted the fact that I have to do shots, sometimes I am not so good about keeping my blood sugar at a good level.  In the years that I've lived with T1D, I've been able to use new technology to help manage my blood sugar, but it isn't a substitute for a cure.    

I am asking for your support.  Please donate to my personal fundraising efforts.  By doing so, you can help me make a difference for me and 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!

Andrew
