JDRF Walk

We had the opportunity to go meet with some really wonderful people yesterday to help kick off Boise's Walk to Cure Diabetes.  We first met with some wonderful people at Costa Vida, Marshalls, and then Walgreens.  We are so blessed to be a part of JDRF and experience the good part about having diabetes, which is meeting families who have been affected with Type 1 or people who truly care enough to donate time and money to help us find a cure for Rose.

In Boise, there are two major fund raising events for JDRF.  First is the Starlight Snow Shoe Event, which was so much fun to attend and now the Walk which is on Saturday, May 3rd.  My cousins wife, Emily, and I have created a walk team for our two kids.  We want to raise money to find a cure, but more importantly we want to show our children that they are not alone in this fight.  They have friends, family, church members, and complete strangers fighting for them.  This is a very lonely disease when it comes to the everyday struggle of managing this disease, but this is the one day a year that the whole day gets to be about them and their chronic illness.  We want our team to be huge.  We also want to raise money in their honor.  The truth is they are not alone and we want to show them that in the number of members on our team and also by how much money we raise.

So please register to walk on May 3, 2014 with us.  Even if you can't be there in person you can still sign up and donate money.  There is no cost to walk and there will be free breakfast, lunch, carnival games, and amazing families to meet. If you can't donate money personally then just ask ten of your friends to donate $10.  Every penny helps.  I heard this amazing quote yesterday about donating.  "Don't donate until it hurts.  But donate until it makes you feel good."  JDRF is an amazing foundation that will find a cure for my child.  I just know it.  You should also know that for every dollar donated to JDRF $0.95 goes directly to finding a cure.  Now take two minutes and click here and lets find a cure for Rose and Jacob!
