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 my daughter, Samantha, and 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.  I would like to raise $1,000.00 to donate to this wonderful organization.  By doing so, you can help me make a difference for millions of people living with type 1 diabetes. Some of you may know that Samantha had a seizure/convulsions in December 2010, likley due to her blood dropping dangerously low while she slept. It was the most frightened I have ever been in my life. I would love nothing more than to kick this disease to the curb forever so that my daughter can live free of finger pricks, injections, site changes, worry over her long term health, medical emergencies, etc. Won't you please help me?

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!
