Hello Everyone
As many of you know, I work at the American Diabetes Association. What an eye opener that has been for me on the staggering magnitude of the diabetes epidemic. Yes, it is an epdemic which impacts so many families. In the U.S. alone,
More than 37.3 million Americans, or 9.4% of the population, has diabetes
Approximately 1.9 million American children and adults have type 1 diabetes
New Cases: 1.4 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year
More than 96 million Americans age 18 and older have prediabetes
Diabetes remains the 7th leading cause of death in the United States
I registered to participate in the Step Out and I am now raising money to prevent diabetes, to fight the consequences and to improve the lives of all of those affected. I want to find a cure. So many people are affected by diabetes and I want to do something about this disease. You can too, just by donating to the American Diabetes Association on my behalf. It would mean so much to me.
Thank you for supporting me!
