Megan'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 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. 

My brother Jamie truly believes a cure will be found for T1D. He was passionate about the cause and walked every year with his daughter Annie. He lived life to the fullest and never let this disease stand in his way. He inspires me to be a better nurse, friend, auntie, sister, and human being. I look forward to carrying on his passion for the cause. I made him a promise that I will walk every year until there is a cure for T1D.

Jamie, I love you and miss you everyday.

Your sister,

Megan
