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.
I walk to bring awareness to this disease, and I fundraise because I want to make a difference. In September 2022, my fiancee's family lost a cherished member while heaven gained an angel.
In honor of the late Tezshera Peyton and her brave battle with Type 1 diabetes, we are participating in the 2023 Step Out Walk to stop Diabetes.
Tezshera was diagnosed with diabetes at 8 years old. Despite the many complications she faced as a result of the disease, she set the example of what it is to be strong in spirit even when the body fails, to power through hardship and to appreciate the beauty of each day. She was blessed with 2 sons whom she loved with every ounce of her being. They were truly the reason she was able to smile.
Please consider donating to our team, The Tez’manian Devils, as we support the American Diabetes Association’s efforts to to advocate on behalf of the 37.3 million Americans living with diabetes, fund research to bring us closer to a cure, and provide resources to healthcare professionals. Every donation is important as people with diabetes need help now more than ever. We are Connected for Life and Step Out is a great way to be together to support.
