Gretchen's Personal Page

Welcome to my personal JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraising page!  Julia was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in October 2012.  Of course, this came as a big shock to our entire family and changed Julia's life forever.  But what we learned within the first 3 days of diagnosis is that there is tons of support for Julia and our family and much of that is thanks to JDRF.  We ask anyone to join us in the walk or help us to raise funds for this cause that is now near and dear to us.

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!
