Welcome to our personal JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraising page!  We will 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.

Rogue was diagnosed on August 11, 2011.  She was 18 months old at the time.  She had two seizures and spent almost a week in the hospital.  Since then she has been doing much better although we have had some ups and downs.  We have truly learned so much.  We have all become carb counters, even her young sibiliings read labels and spread the word to their friends and teachers about diabetes.  We are really looking forward to this walk and raising money for JDRF.  It is so important that research continues.  If even one child and one family doesn't have to go through what we all live with everyday, than every penny is well spent.

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!
