Amanda's Pride

Welcome to our JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes Team Page!  We are taking the steps to help achieve JDRF?s mission: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.  

The money our JDRF Walk Team raises will go directly to support this life-changing research.

The JDRF Walk is a fantastic way to make a difference in the millions of lives of people affected by type 1 diabetes. We have formed team AMANDA'S PRIDE  in order to do two things; 1) raise money to support the research required to find a cure, and 2) to provide Amanda with support and let her know that she is not alone in her fight against diabetes.  Last year, we sold JDRF sneakers at my office, as well as at Amanda's school to raise money for the Walk. With the corporate and personal donations, Amanda's Pride raised over $3000.  The Walk, as well as the Diabetes Camp she attends every summer, is a place where Amanda does not feel alone with her disease.  She is also reassured that she can do and be anything, in spite of her diabetes.  

 Our goal this year is to attempt to raise $5000 for diabetes research.  We will continue with the sneaker sales and more.  Amanda, herself has taken an active role by making bracelets and key chains and organized two bake sales to personally raise money to help find a cure.  TO date, she alone has raised over $700!  Here's how you can help!
