The power of usOur team is walking for Tarynn and to end type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our goal is to walk as a team 308 miles by November 1st. Tarynn will have had diabetes for 308 days at that time.Proverbs 31:25 She is clothed in Strength and Dignity and she Laughs without Fear of the future.That's our little Diva!When you have T1D, your body stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. Managing the disease is a constant struggle that involves monitoring your blood-sugar level, administering insulin, and carefully balancing these insulin doses with your eating and activity just to stay alive.There is no way to prevent T1D and there is no cure–yet. But JDRF is working hard to change that. And that's why our team is supporting the JDRF One Walk this year.Scientific advances are being turned into therapies that are changing the course of T1D - now. And together, we have the power to drive these therapies to market as quickly as we can.Your donation will help Tarynn and others hold on to the hope that a cure, is in their tomorrows.Thank you so much for your support!
