Welcome to my Step Out page!
Diabetes never stops, and neither do I. So I joined the American Diabetes Association’s Step Out Walk to Stop Diabetes to raise critical funds because so many people I know and love have diabetes.
My purpose or my "Why" if you will. My sister had diabetes in her early 30s. She lost her leg at 34yrs old. As you know, Diabetes is the #1 cause of lower limb loss in the U.S. One year later, my sister gave up....in life. Yes, she passes away at 35 years old due to having diabetes. I also have Four Aunts and Uncles with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. One of them has to give themselves shots daily. This one also struggles with the things we all take for granite, like walking from the kitchen to the living room.
I walk to bring awareness to this disease, and I fundraise because I want to make a difference. Every donation is important as people with diabetes need help now more than ever.
