What if the cure for Type 1 Diabetes were in your hands?

Unbelievably, it is.  We started out as a group of several individual parents who each promised our children at the time of their diagnosis that we would do everything within our power to work toward a cure for Type 1 Diabetes.  We joined together as individual families and then our families joined together as a St. Anthony school group.  Since that time we have grown to include even more families.  Our Beat the Bridge team consists of these families as well as a variety of adults with Type 1 Diabetes, co-workers, neighbors, school parents and staff, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.  That is how the power of one can become the power of many, and a cure for Type 1 Diabetes will become a reality.  The support our children receive allows them to face the challenge of Type 1 Diabetes with courage and strength; for that we are truly grateful. 

For the third year, we have formed a team for the Beat the Bridge run and walk to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to find a cure and support advancements in management for Type 1 Diabetes.  You can click on the names of individuals on the team to read how Type 1 Diabetes has impacted them.  This is a wonderful event.  Please consider joining our team or making a tax-deductible charitable contribution.  Your support is greatly appreciated!
