JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes

When I was younger, one of my proudest accomplishments was raising over $3000 for juvenile diabetes research.
The event was something that my parents had heard about through a friend of theirs interested in raising funds aswell. Me and my brothers were given an envelope and told to get as many sponsors as possible. Now, if you know me and my twin brothers, you would know that we are all very competitive, especially with each other. This assignment quickly turned into a competition, with me and my brothers racing around several neighbourhoods, knocking on doors and collecting money in every spare time we had. My brother Jeff ended up winning, which was to be expected. He was always the most socially expert of the three of us. Me and Brad were a bit more cautious with strangers.
The day of the walk, handing in that money... it was one of the best feelings in the world. Knowing that because of our efforts, they were closer to finding a cure for my disease was absolutley thrilling.
Seven years later, my family continues to participate in the walk annually. If you are looking for an event to fundraise, look into the Telus JDRF Walk To Cure Diabetes.
