My First JDRF Walk

This past Saturday was pretty exciting for me.  I was invited to join a friend (who has a 1st grade daughter with type 1) to join their team for the JDRF Walk.  I have NEVER, in my 28 years as a diabetic, done the walk.  Never.  I agreed after she asked me a couple times to do it.  I also registered my husband and both kids ;)  I posted the link to the walk site on my facebook page and suddenly I had donations coming and lots of friends/family asking to walk too!  Our team went from about 15 people to 44 in one week!  We made t-shirts for the team, and walked proudly.  A friend of mine in Dallas helps set up the walk so it was amazing to see her and all of her hard work there.  I also belong to a large group of type 1 women online and met 3 of them there!  2 of them were on the team, and another one had a team of her own.  What a great walk!  I am already looking forward to doing it again next year!
