As many of you know, we participated in our first Walk to Cure Diabetes. Thanks to many of you reading this, we reached and exceeded our goal of raising $2200, a dollar for every poke and shot Jacob has had the last 10 months. The walk was held down in Akron and started at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The halfway point was at the Presidential Library of President McKinley (I had no idea it was even there in Akron!!). The walk was a 4K or 2.4 miles. The kids had a hard time and they all ended up riding in the stroller at some point along the way, but overall they did pretty good. Afterward, we got to go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The kids weren't too interested and honestly, I thought the most interesting thing was seeing all of the Super Bowl Champ rings- some were pretty, but a lot were really gaudy.
We want to thank all of you for supporting us and donating to our cause to find a cure. There are many days when I can't remember what it was like to live without diabetes and I would love to have that life again someday. Hopefully we will!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Here are some pictures from the walk.
