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 all people affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). As a science nerd and the wife of an even bigger science nerd, I know research can come at a huge cost. Without private donations so many diseases and illnesses would have gone on un-cured and still effect us today. Lets all hope that one day T1D will be one of those "long time ago" diseases.

If you ask people with T1D, they will tell you it is difficult and life threatening.  And they know it never goes away, ...or can it?

Did you know:

• 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!  

THANKS EVERYONE, I appreciate you!!!
