Walk for a Cure

This is my neice Brittany. Here is a little about her:

Brittany is a loveable 11 year old girl with great hopes for the future. She enjoys reading, scrapbooking and spending time with her friends. She loves to be spontaneous and has a great love for life. She has learned to be a very responsible person, especially when it comes to her health.

At the age of 7, Brittany was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Her pancreas stopped producing insulin, which is essential for our body to break down the food we eat into energy. Without insulin our blood stream fills up with ketones which can ultimately lead to coma and death.


Brittany was fortunate to recieve good medical care and is now dependant on insulin to keep her alive. She wears a pump that gives her a continious stream of insulin around the clock. Insulin is not a cure for diabetes. Please join in supporting me as I plan to walk for a cure to help Juvinelle Diabetes Research.
