The A Team- Walk to Stop Diabetes- October 20th



We are running super late this year with passing out details for our annual walk to Stop diabetes with the American Diabetes Association, but I hope that doesn’t prevent you from joining us on October 20th as we walk in support of Addy. 

This year, Addy wanted to write the letter to all of you and her honesty in what she writes below is beautiful. 

You are invited( of course) to the diabetes walk -October  20th          Were wearing the same shirt as last time (said momma).We are raising money for a cure so please bring money if possible because diabetes is a serious thing so sometimes it can be hard not only for me but for other boys and girls.The shots, the testing ,the times of feeling bad because of are blood sugar are all hard lots of times. So some people are depending on you to help them.You could possibly change the world for us (us diabetics).Please think of us as boys and girls without diabetes.Thank you
 Addy rush,  p.s. I hope we see you there!
