Race to Cure Diabetes

As most of you know our son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes little over three years ago. It can be frustrating at times, watching what he has to go through. Some people think, at least it's only diabetes. Yes it is true, things could be a lot worse. I just don't think people realize what these kids have to go through. They are pretty much on life support everyday. It's all about keeping their blood sugar in check, not to high, not to low. You can call Nurses, Doctors, and send in the records. But all they do is give you suggestions on what to do. Nothing stays the same, it changes on a daily basis, activity level, emotions, etc.... It breaks my heart to see what these kids have to go through. In the mean time we just try and stay positive and make the best of it. On Sept. 11 there was a motorcross race to sponsor JDRF. Jarrod entered the race to help raise money to hopefully find a cure. So everyone that has Type 1 diabetes won't have to suffer anymore. Some of the pictures are of the Pro's that came to help out. The double bike was part of the Thrillbillies crew, they recorded part of the race for one of their shows. It was a fun and long day, but worth it if they find a cure!
