Life as we know it...crazy!

This is a letter/email I sent out to some people, but I thought this would be a better, more efficient way! Again thank you in advance for all of your support and help! I love you!   Dear Family, Friends, and loved ones, A little while ago I mailed/emailed out a letter informing you that I would be participating in The Walk for the Cure this year with my family. I wanted to update you on a few things and tell you how to donate and register as walkers. I would love for you to help me reach my goal of $805.03 in honor of my ten years of having this chronic disease. I have full confidence that before the walk date on Saturday, August 24 th , 2013 I will be able to raise this amount. You have no idea how much of an impact all of you have made in my life, I would not be where I am without you guys. I am truly grateful and appreciate your willingness to help me out and contribute to the research to find a cure. We are all in this together! Recently I have had the opportunity t...

As many of you know, I have Type 1 Diabetes for 10 years in August 2013. For those of you who don't know, I would like to share my story (in summary).

The first two weeks in the 6th grade I weighed a scarce 73 pounds. My eyes were sunk in and my cheek bones were poking out. My mom took me to the doctors. After a quick finger prick, they found out that my blood sugar was 831mg/dl. (Normal target range is 80-120 mg/dl) That was a very dangerous number! I was then told I had to be taken directly to Primary's; I couldn't even go home to get things. Both my mom and I were in a mix of emotions. Not long after being admitted to the hospital, I was given th...

Friends! Yet again it has been far too long since I have posted anything, I want to apologize! Summer has begun and there are so many adventures to be had. I wanted to share with you a recent adventure I did that seriously made my summer. Everything else will have big shoes to fill. Let's rewind a little bit... back in January I made it a goal to have lots of fun this year and do crazy things. I wanted to reach out and do things out of my comfort zone. So what did I do? I googled upcoming events for the 2013 year. This is when I found the Dirty Dash! I really wanted to do it this year, so I asked Spencer if he wanted to do it with me. Of course a few days later we made our team (Dirty Lovers) and registered for the race that would take place on the morning of June 8th. We got a pretty good deal for early bird registration, we only paid $35, what a steal! I then started a count down, it seemed like it took forever to get here! Finally it was time to start "training" and ...
