working towards a cure...

As many of you might know, 

I have Type-1 Diabetes. 

This year has been many years of change

and aspects of my life

that are now starting to 

be more of a 

steady foundation. 

Austin landed a job he loves, 

we moved out of our apartment

and bought our first house. 

We added to the family

by adopting 

Kahuna

our White German Shepard.

While many things have been firsts for us, 

one thing that isn't new, 

is my diabetes. 

As yes, with any chronic disease or illness, 

I have ups and downs. Mostly never ups,

but I must manage to 

stay alive. 

This year I am working harder 

to raise more awareness of this disease and

hope that in my lifetime

children will no longer have diabetes. 

teenagers will be able to have those sleep overs

and eat the snacks other kids do.

that college students can hang out with there friends

at all hours and not have to worry about blood sugars.

Type-1 diabetics will no longer exist and

women who want to get or who already are pregnant won't have to 

worry about the complications of diabetes on them or

their unborn children.

Families can be families and not count carbs, give or draw up insulin. 

With this, I hope you as my wonderful readers will read my story

the WALK to Cure Juvenile Diabetes...

Thank you all for your help, support, donations and prayers...
