Finding a Cure!

Hi, everyone! Many of you have heard me talk about Kenley, our friend's daughter who has diabetes and celiacs. For the last couple years she has been doing a diabetes walk along with her family to help raise money to find a cure. This year she has included Easton in on her write-up. We can't read her story without tearing up! We are so blessed to know her and see how strong she is. . . It gives us hope!!! After reading her post we knew we needed to join her team and start working to help find a cure!


I wanted to send you the following links for the “Kenley’s Krew” website as we prepare for the JDRF walk. I know we all have causes that are near and dear to our heart, so please DO NOT feel obligated in any way to donate. Financially, we can’t do it all.


The links below will show you Kenley’s personal page (a paragraph in her own words) and our team page. The third link is Easton's. . . Not as detailed as Kenley's, but I'll work on that ! :-)

JDRF is making lots of headway in the fight to find a cure. Not only are they making great strides to find a cure they are also developing many great technologies to help make the lives of people who live with diabetes a little easier. For example, they are the ones who are pushing the FDA to approve the artificial pancreas. Check out their website to learn more! http://www.jdrf.org/


Thanks so much for anything you can donate! :-)
