JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes 2013
Tuesday, October 15, 2013 at 7:49AM On Saturday, November 16th I am going to be participating in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes! This will be the second time I have done the JDRF walk and this time it is extra special (not that last time wasn't pretty amazing.)
I have joined my D-Bestie Sara and her Team TriSara Tops Diabetes in Las Vegas!
Type 1 diabetes has been apart of my life since I was 17 and diagnosed during my senior year in high school. It was not immediately the burden it should have been because the education I received was subpar and frankly my age did not help my inability to grasp the magnitude of this life change.
Now I am 23 years into living with diabetes and it is something I think about all the time. Still I have hope for a better future and the JDRF is a big part of that. I believe in what they do, what they stand for, and the focus they have on educating. Especially educating those who are newly diagnosed.
So won't help a Ninja out and donate to the JDRF walk? Any amount is appreciated and needed. The more donations we can raise the more research, education, and hope the JDRF can deliver.
Thank you so much!!!
