Dear Runner/Walker, Thank you for considering taking part in our fundraiser. My name is Dana McHugh. This past October my daughter Calla was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Our lives as we knew it completely changed. Those initial days in the hospital were difficult. It broke my heart when Calla said to me, “Mom, why did you bring me here when I wasn’t even sick?” Little did she know she was sick and showing symptoms for quite some time. Calla is going to be 7 this October and she will be a year into this new life. She is thriving and doing what all other little girls do! She loves to dance, swim, cheer, play softball, etc… My hope is that there is a cure in Calla’s lifetime so that she does not have to rely on injections and have a constant worry of blood sugar levels. Together we pray that there will be advances in medicine to increase the quality of life for all people with type one diabetes! I am holding this 5K/Walk in honor of my strong and beautiful daughter so that she can see she is not alone and that there are many people out in the world supporting her and the millions of people with T1D!
