Lindsay's Lucky Charms JDRF fundraiser 2011
Hi my name is Lindsay, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes a year and a half ago. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas,leaving you dependent on injected or pumped insulin for life, and carries the constant threat of complications. diabetes requires 6 or more finger pokes every day as well as injections of insulin.
diabetes has changed my life but I do not let it stop me from doing all of the thingsI love. I hope that one day there will be a cure for type 1 diabetes so have decided to do all I can to help fund research into finding a cure.
Some friends & I are holding a fundraiser called the "penny mile"
We are asking everyone to donate their change from their penny jars with hopes that we will collect enough change to make 1 mile when placed in a row side by side. (we will need approx 84,480 coins). Last year we collected enough to make two miles!
All of the money will be donated to JDRF at the Walk For A Cure on June 5th, 2011 in Nanaimo at Maffeo Sutton Park. I would also like to invite you to walk with us...everyone is invited! The 5 km walk starts at 9:30am, the theme is SUPERHEROS so come out and have some fun!
If you would like more info or to donate your change to a great cause please email me at cptrust@shaw.ca
donations can also be dropped off at Pharmasave in Parksville.
Please check out my youtube video


Thank you for your support!
