For those of you who don't know, I have lived with Type 1 Diabetes for 20+ years. Type 1 diabetes only makes up 10% of the diabetic population. As a child I attended the Diabetic Youth Foundations summer camps and learned that Diabetes was not going to stop me from living my life. At this camp I fell in love with the outdoors. This is where I first went camping, first slept under the stars, and went on my first 5 day backpacking trip.
Without the Diabetic Youth Foundation I don't think I would be finding myself on a kayak. They have given me the courage to live life to its fullest. To this day I am always volunteering for the DYF and last summer I was their camp nurse for their summer day camp. I am planning on doing the same again this summer.
I know times are hard and money is tight, but any amount helps. Even a dollar goes a long way. This site has over 3,000 members, if each one donated a dollar the Diabetic Youth Foundation would be able to help so many children and families living with Type 1 Diabetes.
Please click on the following link to make a donation and help the DYF reach their goal by April 29th and thank you so much!

I was laid off and inbetween jobs, but I still wanted to donate. In November I found out I joined the high blood sugar club.
Not much, but I sent $10 to your account.
