Hey, I'm back! I am super pumped for the bike race! I have raised $1029 so far! That is amazing! I am super grateful for all those generous donations. I was able to get my school involved as well by arranging a jeans day for the teachers. So, for all the teachers that wanted to wear jeans that day, they had to pay $5 or more to be enable to have that privilege. All in that day, thanks to all of the teachers, I was able to raise $576. I would like to say a big thank you to all of the teachers in my school district, as well as the Bimba Company, who have donated $200, and my other donating friends and family. Your donations are extremely helpful, every penny brings us closer to finding a cure for type one diabetes. There will always be that spark of hope that no one can touch, that fire will not be extinguished. I am so excited for the bike race and can’t wait to see how many people are going to attend and help make a difference. If you have any questions do not be afraid to ask me online or at the race! I promise I don’t bite! As exciting as that was I have even more exciting news, I am currently giving the Dexcom a try for a week. As first I was a little nervous, but hey why not give it a try. So far I love it, it really helps me manage my blood sugar so much better. Technology is a wonderful thing. With all this technology, help from doctors, and support from friends and family will make me unstoppable at what I want to become in life or in my future years. And you can feel the same way. All it takes is confidence (and a little bit of technology) and you will be untouchable and I promise you will reach your fullest potential in life.
