Julie's Personal Page

Welcome to my personal JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraising page! This year, my team Julie's Cell Mates will be taking part in JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes as we try to reach our nationwide goal of raising $94 million.  

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. 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.

As most of you know, I have been blessed to participate in a research study at Emory University Hosptial and received islet cell transplants on July 21,2011 and again on February 29, 2012. This study is supported by funding from JDRF.  My goal is to pay it forward and continue to make everyone aware that their hard work and financial support of JDRF is being used in our local community.  I have benefited in so many ways ,physically and mentally, by being able to participate in this study and I am anxious to see others receive the same positive results in the very near future.

I am asking for your support. Please donate to my personal fundraising efforts or join my team, Julie's Cell Mates, and walk with me on April 20th. By doing so, you can help me make a difference for millions of people living with type 1 diabetes.

Thank you for your support!

Julie Allred
