Hello Everyone,

As many of you know Tyson was diagnosed with Type1 Diabetes this summer. Tyson ended up getting swimmers itch this summer that wouldnt go away, he was not feeling the best so we brought him in to the doc to see what was wrong. They sent us home and said they would call if anything came up. A half an hour later we got a phone call to rush him down to Childrens Hospital (that scared all of us quite a bit) we had no clue what was wrong other then we had to get him there. When we got there they ran a bunch of tests and it turns out he has been sick for about 2 years!!! The doctors said we caught it very early(we thought WOW early he has been sick for 2 years!) most children end up in the ICU and Tyson did not. Tyson has done an amazing job dealing with all the changes in his life. I honestly dont think I would adjust as well as he has. Tyson really wants to raise money to help find a cure!! He told me his goal is to fight for the cure. So come walk with us and raise some money!! GO BOOGY BUNCH!!

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!
