Clarksville, TN – Garrett had a couple ear infections and had been on a few antibiotics. He was cranky, wasn’t sleeping well, and always thirsty! Sally and I thought it was the medicine.
At first, nothing too out of the ordinary for a 21 month old boy. But it persisted and with a nudge from my sister I took him to the pediatrician specifically to be tested for diabetes.
That was 6 years ago and Garrett is a healthy 2nd grader living with T1D. Technology allows us to easily check his blood sugar and give him insulin via a Bluetooth enabled pump that he wears 24/7. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) made the pump possible. People like you make JDRF possible. JDRF is also working diligently on promising cures that were unthinkable just 10 years ago.
My family greatly appreciates the support our friends have shown to JDRF and we have raised over $30,000 since Garrett was diagnosed. I humbly ask for your continued support again. Please click the link below to visit my page and make a donation.
