Walking to cure Diabetes!

Posted by Mayke in Family, Greater Good on October 16, 2010

The last weekend in September we helped to raise money to find a cure for Diabetes.

Most of you know that Trevor has had Type 1 Diabetes (also known as Juvenile Diabetes) since he was 13 years old. He has a pretty good grip on it and can live an almost normal life. But there is no cure and all of us hope for one. Sooner rather than later.

Every year several fundraiser walks are organized all over the country to raise money. This year was the first time that we participated. We’re planning to walk again next year.

Our team raised $500. A big thanks to those of you who donated. The Utah County walk raised about $200,000 total. (Just so you know, we’re hoping to raise double our team’s donation!!)

Thanks to Kris, Josh, aunt Denise and uncle Kent for walking with us!
