Welcome to my personal JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes fundraising page! 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 nationwide goal of raising $94 million.  

I have been living with Type 1 Diabetes for almost 6 years.  It is an every day battle trying to keep my blood sugar in check.  Diabetes is not something you ever get a break from and affects every part of your life...from eating (the big one) to exercising, to sleeping, to traveling, to other health issues...it's there all the time.  As much as I dislike having to deal with this every day, I am grateful that there have been so many advances that have made this disease more manageable.  By supporting JDRF, you are helping to find better treatment options and eventually a cure, that will improve my quality of life and the lives of many others, and for that, I am grateful.

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.

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, including myself!

Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible?

Thank you for your support!
