Team Avery

Again this year,Team Avery will be taking part in JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes.

Type 1, or juvenile diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people, a large and growing percentage of them children.

One of those children is my brave 9 year old son Avery. He is now in his fourth year living with diabetes. The insulin pump (pancreas powered by AAA batteries) and wonderful family support make all the difference! We learn more and more every year of not only what we can do to fight the daily impact of the disease, but also the hope/advocacy for what can be done for what can be in Avery's future.

We know that JDRF is one of our best hopes 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.
