American Diabetes Association STOP Diabetes Walk

This morning I joined former Miss California International 2011, Brittany Wagner, at the ADA STOP Diabetes Walk. She was representing her passion for the ADA by having her team Crown the Cure, participate in this event. I was very excited to be able to support her and her work with the ADA by raising $160 and walking with her team. We also had the honor of walking with Rufus Dorsey, one of the ADA spokesmen. I was very moved by this event. My grandfather battled Type II diabetes and was shot dependent. It was very life changing for not only him, but the whole family. Being able to participate in this event, I was able to share his story and gain a whole new respect for those whose stories I heard who have battled this disease too! Remember November is National Diabetes month. I am looking forward to the YMCA participating in an ADA event. Keep your eye out for that:) THANK YOU Brittany  for inviting me!
