Team Charleigh

Supporting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to find a cure for juvenile (Type 1) diabetes.

Hi, I'm Charleigh.

I'm a typical 5 year old trying to live a typical life. However, on January 31, 2007 I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This year, I'll be taking part in JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes, along with one-half million other walkers across the country, as we try to reach our goal of raising $105 million.

Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating disease that affects millions of people - a large and growing percentage of them children.

There is some good news, though. For the first time, scientists are predicting that we CAN expect to see a cure well within our lifetime!
