Kerri Morrone is walking with Six Until Me on October 15, 2006 in Providence, RI.
This September marks my 20th year living with type one diabetes.
Over the course of the last twenty years, I have seen tremendous advances in diabetes management, including the blood glucose monitoring meter I use every two hours and the insulin pump I wear every day. These advancements are life-changing and they make my day-to-day living with diabetes easier.
However, these advancements are not a cure. Despite the fancy gadgets and technological developments, my pancreas still does not produce insulin. I will be tethered to these devices and reliant upon many maintenance drugs for the rest of my life.
Unless there is a cure. A real cure.
And if anyone can find it, it's the JDRF.
I am proud to announce that Team Six Until Me. will be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's "Walk to Cure Diabetes" on October 15th.
Our goal? To raise at least $3,000 towards the cure for diabetes.
I am looking for your support as I chair Team Six Until Me. for our sophomore follow-up to last year's raging success. It was fun. And this year, it will be ... funner.

Today I say, "I live successfully with type one diabetes."
I can't wait to say, "I used to have diabetes."
Cheers,
Kerri.

Thank you Kerri for bringing so much hope to my shattered life after Kylee's diagnosis. I wish you the best weather for your walk, funnest time and most of all the faith to keep believing in a cure! I will be thinking of you as you carry my precious Kylee and all the dreams we have for her - with each and every step you take! - I am sure we will meet someday at some conference or a walk - until then Go Team and God Bless You ALL
