"Team Lucy" participated in Step Out-Walk to Fight Diabetes on Sunday October 26th raising over $900. We had a really good time at COSI. November is Diabetes awareness month and there are 23.6 million children and adults in the United States, or 7.8% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 17.9 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 5.7 million people (or nearly one quarter) are unaware that they have the disease. Most of you know I am affected by this disease and although you can live somewhat of a normal healthy lifestyle with it, it can be very complicating at times and the long term effects are really scary if you don't take care of yourself. Thank you to everyone who donated to this cause that means so much to my family and I to find a cure.
