Team Six Until Me. Rises Again!

The Team Six Until Me. Rally Message:

Team SUM!
This September marks my 20th year living with type one diabetes. 

Over the course of the last twenty years, I have seen tremendous advances in diabetes management, including the blood glucose monitoring meter I use every two hours and the insulin pump I wear every day.  These advancements are life-changing and they make my day-to-day living with diabetes easier.

However, these advancements are not a cure.  Despite the fancy gadgets and technological developments, my pancreas still does not produce insulin.  I will be tethered to these devices and reliant upon many maintenance drugs for the rest of my life.

Unless there is a cure.  A real cure.

And if anyone can find it, it's the JDRF.

I am proud to announce that Team Six Until Me. will be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's "Walk to Cure Diabetes" on October 15th.  

Our goal?    To raise at least $3,000 towards the cure for diabetes.

I am looking for your support as I chair Team Six Until Me. for our follow-up to last year's raging success.    It was fun.  And this year, it will be ... funner.

Want to walk with Team S.U.M.?

Today I say, "I live successfully with type one diabetes."

I can't wait to say, "I used to be a diabetic."

Thank you for your continued support!

-- Kerri.

Hope you raise the amount you want. I'm doing a walk this year, my first, with my boyfriend. I've already raised £500 by myself. It's not alot but it's better than nothing.
