Step Out

Nearly a year ago, our 16 year-old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Her life was forever changed with that diagnosis. That is why our family is walking and raising funds for the American Diabetes Association’s signature fundraising walk, Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes happening in September.

Every step we take and every dollar we raise will make a difference in the lives of 23.6 million Americans living with diabetes. By making a donation on my behalf, you will be helping the Association provide community-based education programs, protect the rights of people with diabetes and fund critical research for a cure.

Please visit my personal web page Hannah: The reason I am joining the Walk to Fight Diabetes to read about my daughter Hannah and her journey. Your 100% tax deductible donation can also be made by visiting this link. (If you do not want to donate online, please make your check payable to the American Diabetes Association and contact me for a mailing address. )

With the help of people like you, the American Diabetes Association can raise over $20 million to help stop diabetes.Please help me reach my goal by supporting me for this year's Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes. Together we can stop diabetes. One step at a time.

Thanks so much!
