Charity of the Month: JDRF

Trey's Avengers

Our Charity of the Month for September was the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Clocktower Realty Group made a donation as well as some additional fundraising and we're hoping to do even more! The JDRF One Walk Fundraiser Charity event is THIS Sunday, October 2nd in Byrd Park!  Please join us in walking and raising money for the JDRF, a foundation that has made leaps in progress over the past few years and has one of the highest percentages of funding that goes to actual research. Registration starts at 12:00pm and the walk begins at 2:00pm. Read more about the cause from their own words:

JDRF One Walk has a single goal: creating a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D). We hope you'll join us this year as we walk and raise money for life-changing research for the millions affected by this devastating disease.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly. It has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. If you have T1D, your pancreas stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. This means you must constantly monitor your blood-sugar level, inject or infuse insulin from a pump and carefully monitor your eating and activity every single day.

There is nothing you can do to prevent T1D. And—currently—there is no cure. But there is something you can do to help.

When you join one of the hundreds of JDRF One Walks across the country, the money you raise will support JDRF—the leading global organization funding T1D research. And, you'll have a great time doing it! That's because you'll walk with a committed community that is passionate about doing whatever it takes to help JDRF turn Type One into Type None.

We can't do it without you. Please register today.

Come out this Sunday, but if you can't make it, please make your donations using this Trey's Avengers Link!
