On September 1, 2015 I joined the JDRF Delaware staff. My first adult job out of sports working for a non-profit raising funds for a disease I knew very little about. In my year an a half with JDRF I learned so much, grew a lot and made life-long friends. 

I'm challenging myself to raise funds and run in honor of one of my best friends Kimmie Shoe <3. She is a warrior everyday conquering the challenge of T1D and marathon running. She is my inspiration. 

Here's the deal... I've already raised $260 through my JDRF Your Way Page...now you can help me add to it!:

If I raise $301-$500 = I run a 10K

If I raise $501-$900 = I run a half marathon

If I raise $901+ = I run a full marathon

I’m fundraising for JDRF because I believe in their vision of a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D).

With T1D, a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. The daily life of someone with T1D brings a multitude of challenges, including insulin injections  that need to be carefully balanced with eating and activity, disruptive glucose monitoring, sleepless nights—and   wishing for a tomorrow where this struggle doesn’t exist.

Thank you all!
