I'm participating in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes!

Welcome to my personal JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraising page! This year, I'll be taking part in JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes, along with one-half million other walkers across the country, as we try to reach our nationwide goal of raising $94 million.  

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. We don't know why exacty, but my body got confused, and my immune system attacked and killed the cells in my pancreas which make insulin.  Now I wear a pump all the time to get insulin in my body, check my blood sugar every few hours, and when I eat, I have to figure out how much extra insulin I have to get to stay healthy.  

There is some good news, though.  First, I am practicing a lot of math.  Second, JDRF is funding more type 1 diabetes research than any other charity worldwide and it's making progress along many promising paths toward better treatments and 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 millions of people living with type 1 diabetes.

Thank you for your support!

Love, 
Kensi
