ABOUT US

I was just a normal two year old baby running around and having fun like any other child would. Then one day I just wasn’t myself. My parents knew I wasn’t that normal little girl. I was suddenly always tired, drinking so much water, and extremely sick.
After a trip to the doctors they had just determined it was the flu, but the blood test determined something else. I was soon rushed to the ER, where we soon found out I had Type 1 Diabetes. After a week in the hospital and many hours of training with nurses, I was ready to take on the world with T1D.
I am now 27, living with Diabetes for 25 years. Nothing has stopped me from being who I want to be or what I want to do. I may have Diabetes but Diabetes does not have me!

The JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes is an impactful way to raise money for critically needed type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and show your support for the millions of people affected by this serious disease. With T1D there are no days off, and there is no cure. That's why JDRF holds more than 200 walks across the country every year to raise money for JDRF- the only global organization with a strategic research plan to end T1D.

The JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes has raised more than $1 billion through the hard work and generosity of supporters like you. Every dollar JDRF directs toward research comes from our donors. So, the more our walkers raise, the closer we get to reaching our goal of a world without T1D.

Thank you for your support of the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes! Together, we will turn Type One into Type None.
