Our personal message:



Imagine being stuck with a needle up to 8 times per day? Without insulin, you will die! Too much insulin, you will die! 

*************************************************************************

 Many people think type 1 diabetes can be controlled by insulin. While insulin does keep people with type 1 diabetes alive, it is NOT a cure. Aside from the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes, there are many severe, often fatal, complications caused by the disease.

That's the bad news... and yes, it's pretty bad.

The good news, though, is that a cure for type 1 diabetes is within reach. 
 University of Minnesota researchers at the Schulze Diabetes Institute are making great strides to bring this disease to closure. 

 

Curing Diabetes is Possible, and it Will Happen! 

 

 
A special "Thank You" to anyone who participated in the first-ever "Walk for Diabetes" in conjunction with the annual Lightning Run.  And thank you to everyone who donated.  Your support assisted towards the day when the word "DIABETES" holds neither meaning nor power. 

 

We will hold this event again next year.  If interested in participating please contact LuAnn/Rachel at thetackes@usfamily.net and we will put you down on our list of walkers, and will contact you when we secure the date for our next "Walk for Diabetes". 

 

***********************************************
Be a Part of the Cure!   

Every donation makes a difference! 

 On behalf of the millions of Americans who are living with this disease, thank you for supporting my efforts.


P.S. - May God Smile on You Today!
