Hi everyone!

Let's make it simple.

Congenital hyperinsulinism is basically diabetes' even more evil twin. It causes dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which is the number one cause of preventable, irreversible brain damage.

Congenital Hyperinsulinism International (CHI) is a global lifeline to those born with hyperinsulinism (HI). CHI supports research for better treatments and cures and is the foremost advocate for increased awareness and better medical protocols for HI to reduce preventable brain damage and death from prolonged hypoglycemia.

The Sugar Soirée brings people together to celebrate the strength of the CHI community and raise funds to improve the lives of children and adults born with HI, and their families. 

In honor of this year's Sugar Soirée, my friends and I on the Junior Committee are teaming up to raise $5,000 to support CHI Benevolence Programs! HI is so rare that only a handful of hospitals around the world have expert knowledge of the condition and are able to provide specialized, quality care to children who suffer from it. This often means that families have to travel long distances and stay far from their homes in order to make sure their child receives the best care possible. CHI helps hospitals cover the costs of travel and expenses for the family when they must travel to one of these centers for their child’s specialized care.

Any amount you're able to contribute will go a long way and be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your support!

Love,

Jordan
