Tour de Cure 2023 is quickly approaching!
Although the weather has been extremely hot to walk in, I am determined to continue my Tour de Cure training so I am ready for a minimum of a 20 mile walk on September 23rd.
With your help, my ultimate goal remains the same; to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes for the over 18,000 children that are diagnosed each year so that they can live a normal life. Sounds pretty easy, but we have a long way to go although great strides have been made.
I have been walking for our grandson Ben and spreading awareness for four years now and will continue to do my best over the next number of years.
Ben now wears a CGM which will automatically track his glucose levels day and night with a small sensor. Of course a finger prick may be needed once in awhile under certain circumstances. Unfortunately, all those with Type 1 do not have the insurance to even partially pay for this so a cure is needed!
Please support me on Sept 23rd as I walk to spread the word to help find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. Please cheer me on or send a donation to the website below if you can.
Together we can make a difference.
