Welcome to St. Mark's Saints for a Cure Walk Team Page
This is the twelfth year that St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Texas, has formed a team, Saints for a Cure, to participate in the JDRF Walk. Last year our team was able to raise more than $3,700 thanks to the generous contributions of forty-one families and individuals. Over the eleven years St. Mark's Saints for a Cure has raised over $31,000. That is certainly something to be very proud of.
The drive and commitment to a vision of creating a world without type one diabetes continues. This fall, the Southern Texas Chapter’s JDRF One Walk will take place at the Houston Sports Park. It is the unified spirit of the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community coming together as one force rallying for an end to T1D. One Walk will continue to provide the unity and commitment to finding a cure. As we have always done, we will come together as a T1D community to show support for one another, celebrate our relentless spirit, and raise critical funds for type one research.
This year's walk will take place on Saturday, November 4 at the Houston Sports Park. The Houston Dynamo and Houston Dash use that location as their practice facility. We come together with hopes of increasing the money raised for the thousands and thousands of Type One patients whose hopes remain with the research being funded by JDRF.
We are taking steps to help JDRF achieve its goal of improving the lives of all people affected by T1D by accelerating progress on the most promising opportunities for curing, better treating, and preventing T1D. By joining our Walk Team and making a donation, you will be helping us to raise funds to directly support research with the greatest potential to conquer this disease.
We are motivated by the courage and perseverance of those facing the everyday challenges of type 1 diabetes - they are the reason we challenge ourselves to give more, to do more, to achieve more. We challenge ourselves to make a real difference in the lives of those with T1D.
Will you accept the challenge to make a difference by making a donation? No amount is too small to help those who face the Type One challenge daily. All we need you to do is click on the Donate to This Team button to make a donation to St. Mark's Saints for a Cure.
St. Mark's Saints for a Cure is proud to participate in this event and thanks you for your support of this very worthwhile cause.
