Welcome to Suzanne Mapes's Personal Page

Hi! This year, I'll be taking part in JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes, along with one-half million other walkers across the country, as we try to reach our goal of raising $89 million.

Type 1, or juvenile diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people, a large and growing percentage of them children.  In August 2010, my son Daniel, was diagnosed and our lives changed forever.  This disease requires constant attention and never goes away. 
There is some good news, though. JDRF is our best hope for finding a cure. It funds more type 1 diabetes research than any other charity worldwide and it's making progress along many promising paths toward better treatments and a cure.

Daniel is my hero for how he deals with this day in and day out.  I'm hoping for a cure so that some day he can say, "I used to have Type 1 diabetes."  Now, more than ever, you can make a crucial difference. Won't you please support me as I walk to support this worthwhile cause? Together, we can make the cure a reality!

Thank you for your support!

Suzanne
