Sponsor a Shot!


On September 25, our family will be participating in the Step Out Walk to Fight Diabetes, which is a fundraiser for the American Diabetes Association. We've established an official team in Grace's honor and we want you to join us! The walk will be held at This Is the Place Heritage Park and begins at 10. There is a 1 mile and 3 mile route. After the walk there will be a petting zoo, train rides, face painting, and other entertainment.
Between now and then, Grace will check her blood sugar at least 4 times a day and have at least 2 injections of insulin a day, for a total of about 200 needle pricks. In her honor we've decided to set our fundraising goal at $200. To contribute, you can choose how many shots you'd be willing to sponsor and donate $1 a shot. You can send checks made payable to the American Diabetes Association to us.
We are so grateful for the good care Grace has received and are happy that she has adjusted well. But the reality is that Diabetes is a disease with no cure. The responsibility of careful management is constant. And we want Grace to know that we are doing what we can to help support her and contribute to the search for a cure. Please join us and show your love and support for Grace by Sponsoring a Shot and helping us reach our goal!
Please call or email if you have any questions!
