Story
I'm taking my T1D advocacy and fundraising across the pond! I'm running the London Landmarks Half Marathon on Team JDRF as I prepare for the Chicago Marathon on Team JDRF.
Can you help me reach my fundraising goal for this race?
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2020 at the age of 30. Since then, I've learned so much about the disease and all the ways it impacts individuals and families. This diagnosis has truly changed my life forever.
My hope is to see a cure for this disease in my lifetime. I'm amazed at the innovations in diabetes treatment that have been discovered in recent decades, and I know there are only more breakthroughs to come. The key is persistent invesment in and pursuit of research.
My fundraising will provide vital funds for type 1 diabetes research, which will help to improve the lives of those living with type 1 diabetes - and one day eradicate the condition for good.
Thanks for any support you can lend to this cause so near and dear to me. I'm grateful for your donations every step of every mile -- all 13.1 of them!
