5K - Run for the Ring

It is my pleasure to participate with a local organization, The Children's Diabetes Foundation (CDF).  I joined as a guild member about a year ago, and while I wish I had more time to be involved the volunteer experiences I have had thus far have been very enlightening.  There can never be enough said about the Type 1 community and the support that they provide to each other.  CDF provides so much support and fundraising to the Barbara Davis Center, we feel we have personally benefited from the contributions.

Last year I ran, err walked, in the First 5K Run for the Ring race.  My daughter was away in Minnesota and I decided at the last minute to go.  I really do wish I was a runner, but alas, not yet.  This year my daughter did not go to Minnesota and I got to bring her with me.  We got there early to help with set up and registration.  While I registered people coming in, she handed out the awesome t-shirts.  It was nice to see familiar faces and the community that came out to support not only the event but the organizations and families impacted by Type 1.  

We got to create more memories today.  Memories associated with the positive side of Type 1.  We look forward to continuing our support of this event and what the event will grow into.  My personal goal will be to eventually run the whole thing....it could take a while!
