On October 3rd, many of my family and friends participated in a 5K Walk for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to honor those of our family members and friends who were diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes as children. This cause is very near and dear to my heart, as my partner, Susan, was diagnosed when she was 12. We are strong supporters of the JDRF - which is an incredible organization - and aside from participating in the walk annually, we also volunteer at the Chance of a Lifetime Gala every December. This year, Team SusAlly (named for Susan and our friend Meghan's sister, Ally) proudly raised over $4,400 for diabetes research, which is over double what we raised last year. Thank you so much to everyone who helped us reach our goal. Below are photos from the walk.
