Ryan's Dream Team - JDRF 5K Walk

Today we took part in JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes with "Ryan's Dream Team" in Fort Worth. 
Ryan is the son of one of my best highschool friends (Tammy Dunn Vyas) and was diagnosed with diabetes at age 3.    Though it has been a long haul for Ryan, I am inspired by this young man and especially his family.

A special THANK YOU to

Randee Dunaway

Sharon Nice

Aunt Jackie Baird

Heather Pitts

Christine Guajardo (Mom)

Debbie Jordan (Mom)

Tammy Jaso

Dondi Hayhurst and

Sandy Dunn

for helping us  SURPASS our family goal of $100.   

Though our personal contribution is small, I am hopeful our efforts will help inspire others to join in, make a donation, or possibly reach out to someone that might be able to make a financial contribution to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. 

We are blessed with wonderful friends and family who would prove to be a strong support system should our boys ever be diagnosed with juvenile diabetes or any other disease for that matter.  For that  reason our family will continue to do what we can to support Ryan and many others like Ryan who have juvenile diabetes.

Thanks for past support and, or any going forward. To make a donation, please visit my JDRF Fundraising Page.
