Let's create a world without T1D!

I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I was 2 years old.  I don't remember what life was like before Type 1 Diabetes but I am determined not to let it get in the way of accomplishing my goals.  I have been taking Tai Kwon Do classes for the last 3 years and am currently working towards earning my Black Belt in December.  Each Black Belt candidate must complete a community service project so I decided to select a project that was personal to me by raising money to help support Diabetes research.  I will also be hosting a Type 1 Diabetes Awareness event at my gym in support of Diabetes Awareness Month in November.

With T1D, a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. The daily life of someone with T1D brings a multitude of challenges, including insulin injections  that need to be carefully balanced with eating and activity, disruptive glucose monitoring, sleepless nights—and  wishing for a tomorrow where this struggle doesn’t exist.

Living with T1D means there are no days off and there is no cure. But there is hope.

Your generosity will help JDRF fund life-changing breakthroughs to remove the incredible daily burden of this disease—until it no longer exists.

Please support my fundraiser by making a donation today.

Thank you!
