Day 1 of the 100-Mile Challenge in February: Today, I kicked off the challenge with a 10.56-mile ride around the BWI Trail. As I pedaled, thoughts of my journey with Type 2 Diabetes flooded my mind. Since my diagnosis in September 2022, with an A1c of 13.7, I've been on a mission to reclaim my health. Despite facing high blood pressure, a rapid heart rate, and other symptoms that put me at risk for cardiac events, I refuse to let diabetes define me. Instead, I'm using fundraisers like this to motivate myself to prioritize my health. Participating in this fundraiser isn't just about me—it's about the countless others battling diabetes every day. With every pedal, I'm not only inching closer to my goal but also raising awareness and funds for critical diabetes research. Please join me in supporting the American Diabetes Association's mission. Your donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Together, let's pedal towards a healthier future for all. Encouraging Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:6-7 “As for me, I am already being poured out as a libation, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” My Donation Page: https://lnkd.in/ep4ZBY64 #DiabetesAwareness #HealthRecovery #Fundraiser #ADA #CyclingForACause #HeartHealth #FightDiabetes #SupportTheMission #WellnessJourney #HealthFundraiser #BeatDiabetes #100MileChallenge #DonateForChange #CardiacHealth #Type2Warrior #CommunitySupport #MakingADifference #HealthyLiving #DiabetesFighter #MotivationChallenge #CharityRide

Did you know...? Help us impact these statistics- I'm raising much-needed funds for the innovative research and lifesaving initiatives of the American Heart Association. Interested in learning more or donating? Link here: https://lnkd.in/gTtYSByQ - Nearly 1/3 of all residents in Greater Pittsburgh have uncontrolled hypertension – this impacts every organ in the body. - Another ¼ of residents are not even aware that they have high blood pressure – That is enough people to fill PNC Park 10 times! - Black residents in Greater Pittsburgh experience nutrition insecurity at 4 times the rate of their white counterparts. - There are over 27 food deserts in Allegheny County alone (and I have personally seen the impacts of this on my patients.) - Only 43% of women in Greater Pittsburgh know that cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of women.

Hi all - I don’t typically share personal stories here, but I’m sharing our story in the hopes of raising awareness and resources for our remarkable little warrior and others like him. 💜 We are parents to a remarkable 8-year-old little boy. He is a delightful little human who is obsessed with Legos, loves tennis, and is the most voracious reader I’ve ever met. He’s funny, kind, bright, and uniquely his own person. And he is fighting Chronic Pancreatitis, secondary to a spink1 genetic mutation. Chronic Pancreatitis, for those who might not know, is characterized by inflammation and degeneration of the pancreas organ, it is notoriously painful, and the disease is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It relentlessly gets worse with time, and the medical interventions available dwindle quickly. It is extremely rare in children, and currently, there is no cure. We are sharing our story to extend an invitation for you to join us in a mission of hope. “Mission: Cure’s” incredible work supports research for Pancreatitis, with a focus on finding a cure. Your contribution will go toward significantly improving the quality and length of life for people like our son. Here’s How You Can Help: 💲 Make a financial donation: Any amount you can contribute will go directly to work advancing research initiatives and increase hope to families navigating the challenges of this disease. No donation is too small. (Remember to see if your company offers donation matching!) 🗣 Spread awareness: Share this campaign on social media, within your networks, or even host a small event. Awareness leads to more action and resources, so please share. 💖 Thank you for taking a few moments to read. Please share and spread the hope for a cure. 💖 To donate or learn more: https://lnkd.in/gziDbMRq #Pancreatitis #PancreaticHealth #ChronicPancreatitis #PancreatitisAwareness #PancreasCare #PancreaticDisease #DigestiveHealth #FightPancreatitis #PancreatitisSupport #PancreatitisWarrior #Lego #Fundraiser #Charity #Donate #Support #Philanthropy #CommunitySupport #MakeADifference #seattlechildrenshospital #ashtonkutcher #milakunis #Amazon #Microsoft #childhealthday Mission: Cure

Crescent Hotels & Resorts and the Williams Family have come together to match donations up to $1,000 to the JDRF Mid-Atlantic Chapter 💙 JDRF One Walk 💙 TODAY! I’m raising money for the JDRF One Walk because I believe in a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D). T1D is a serious autoimmune disease that impacts millions of people and cannot be prevented or cured – YET! People who live with T1D regularly monitor their blood-sugar level, inject or infuse insulin through a pump, and carefully balance those doses with eating and daily activities to prevent uncomfortable, and even dangerous, side effects. Every single day. JDRF is leading the fight against T1D by funding research, advocating for policies that accelerate access to new therapies, and providing a support network for millions of people around the world impacted by T1D. But they can’t do it without our support. If you feel so inclined, I hope you will support this great cause! No donation is too small, and every dollar truly makes a difference. Thanks for helping us reach our team goal! https://lnkd.in/eSiFDyMW
