Kate's Story
Please join me in the fundraising effort for this organization.My name is KateProffitt, and I have had Type I Diabetes for thirteen years. First diagnosed at age three, I have become used to a daily routine filled with blood sugar checks and insulin doses. Sometimes, it is so easy to get discouraged. I feel like giving up, I am so tired. This is the time of my life when the world is just getting good. I don't want to worry about words like Novalog Insulin and blood sugar target. However, I do have this disease, and I can choose to complain about it, or I can decide to live life normally, like any other person. I feel so incredibly blessed and happy to have the life I have. That said, I go through every day believing that one day, I will be cured. I tell myself that one day, I won't wake up to the beeping of my insulin pump, or the nagging instinct to check my blood sugar. I know that there is a cure, I have to believe that there is. If I don't believe in a cure, then what am I living for? I believe in a cure, and I want you to believe as well. Please help JDRF by donating to this organization. Every donation counts, and please know that you are helping people, changing lives
