The Grand Marshal
Wednesday, November 13, 2013 at 10:35AM 
This weekend I am participating in a JDRF walk in Las Vegas Nevada. It turns out my team captain is the Grand Marshal of the event! Sara Nicastro!
Sara was one of the first bloggers I met in person. We found out early on that she was friends with some friends of mine! It was a crazy moment and another example of how small the world is.
Sara inspires me by her desire to share her story and her life. Acceptance and caring are two words I would use to describe Sara not to mention adventurous. I mean she has travelled the world, gone to Haiti to help in the aftermath of the earthquake a few years ago, and she has even sky dived!
Nothing can stop Sara.
Like Cherise, Sara is another source of encouragement for me. She can tell in a second if a tweet or status update has a gray cloud hanging over it. Whenever that's the case I will get an email, text, or phone call asking what is going on and how she can help.
This is the support I have found online and is available to other people with diabetes too. The DOC is filled with awesome people and if there were a parade I would vote Sara the Grand Marshal. As long as I could be drum major of course.
I almost forgot about the two epic vlogs we did. You must check both of these out!
Share how Sara has touched your life in the comments. I can't wait to see her this weekend. Also, if you are able, please donate to the walk by clicking this link. THANKS!

That's the kind of nickname that stays with a person...
Sara is great! Thanks for sharing.
Sara has a big heart & she's brave - And not just about diabetes - I'm scared to death of skydiving!!
Sara sent me the 'Cheese for Dummies' book and a bacon pump cover a few years back - Just when I needed to smile the most - And I really appreciated those gifts out of the blue.
Also, I love that when we were in the Indy airport Sara stretched out on the ground so I could take her picture with the accu-chek nano graphic - I couldn't stop laughing!
Ha!
Kelly's comment and our videos basically demonstrate I have no filter! Oops!
I am so excited for this weekend!!! :D
