Favorite Charity:

I will continue to work closely with JDRF locally and hopefully nationally to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. I will spread the message of urgency but also of hope. With the help of Diabetes Doggie, DDI think the misconceptions about diabetes will become clearer and the signs and symptoms will become as known as the alphabet. I won’t stop or quit until we find a cure. JDRF is dedicated and will continue with research and development all over the world until they too as well, find a cure. Help us on our mission to find a cure for all of the kids affected and the kids that will continue to be affected in our lifetime.

One might ask why I chose this? I was there and saw the impact when my Goddaughter at 4 years old, who is now 7, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Her whole life changed in a matter of minutes. Because of the friendship of her mother and I and my love for Tori, it has also changed my life, and the life of my family. It will continue to do so until we find a cure.
