Hi, all! Thanks for stopping by my Step Out fundraising page!

I am looking for you to help kick start another successful year of fundraising for the American Diabetes Association in pursuit of research and a cure for Types I & II Diabetes!

What I appreciate about the work done by the ADA is that the funds raised go towards a combination of support, education, advocacy, and scientific research for people living with Diabetes.

As someone who has lost loved ones to this disease and with others in my circles of families, friends, and coworkers living with it today, I am familiar with the challenges faced and the strength and determination required to live with this disease and overcome it.

Now, on to the "official stuff" ... This year Step Out celebrates 31 years of making an impact in communities nationwide and I’m walking/running to champion the over 34 million Americans living with this disease because they need our support.

When you donate you make an immediate impact:

• You spread awareness of the devastating effects of diabetes. 
• You advocate for a child with diabetes to have the same learning opportunities at school.
• You fund life-saving research that will bring us closer to a cure.
• You provide access to community programs and free resources that help those living with diabetes.

So please, if you have the money to spare, donate! If you'd like to join me in "stepping out" to help raise money with Team Stars (NJ), click through to the team page and sign up! If you're unable to / would rather not do either, that's fine too -- I'd just ask that you share this around with those in your community who are able and willing to make a donation!

Thanks for your time -- I know after a crazy year it's important to value every second we have, so I appreciate you spending a little of your time here reading my message and considering supporting this cause. Thank you!
