JDRF One Walk
10.30.15
On Sunday, Nov. 8 at 10 a.m. join me and thousands of others at the JDRF One Walk at Angel Stadium of Anaheim to raise funds for research in the fight against Type 1 diabetes. Formerly known as the JDRF Walk to Cure, the flagship fundraising event for JDRF’s name was changed to communicate the focus on a single goal: creating a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D).
My son Tristan was diagnosed nine years ago this month at age 14. Just to stay alive, he has given himself more than 19,710 shots of insulin since he was diagnosed.
You can team up with JDRF, the only global organization with a strategic plan to fight type 1 diabetes for a fun morning 5K walk with family, friends, and co-workers. You can even bring your dog.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas loses the ability to produce insulin — a hormone essential to turning food into energy. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and is unrelated to diet and lifestyle. It requires constant carbohydrate counting, blood-glucose testing, and lifelong dependence on injected insulin.
There are no days off, and there is no cure. That's why JDRF holds more than 200 One Walks across the country every year to raise money for JDRF.
Please register here today.
Registration starts at 8:30 a.m.; the walk starts at 10 a.m. at Angel Stadium at 2000 Gene Autry Way in Anaheim.
