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

Even super heroes get diabetes. Help us kick diabetes to the curb for Owyn and all others who suffer.
What a trooper! Six finger pokes a day and four shots.

    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.  If you ask people with type 1, they will tell you it is difficult and life threatening.  And they know it never goes away.

    I am asking for your support.  My five year old grandson, Owyn, has type 1 diabetes. Please donate to my personal fundraising efforts.  By doing so, you can help me make a difference for him millions of little children and adults living with type 1 diabetes.

    Did you know that type 1 diabetes:

    • is an autoimmune disease that comes on suddenly and strikes both children and adults at any age?
    • Has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle?
    • Means those like little Oywn who live with it must carefully balance insulin doses with eating and daily activities throughout the day and night?
    • Causes those even little children like Owyn to 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 it.  JDRF will not rest until type 1 diabete is fully conquered.  Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible?


    Thank you for your support!

    Let's kick diabetes to the curb!
