Welcome to our JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes Team Page!  

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!!
