Fundraising for a Cause
Let me start by talking about how much I hate asking people to donate money. I seriously hate it. I know how tight our budget is so I don't want people to feel obligated to donate money. With that being said let me tell you about why I decided to fundraise.... Cole was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was 13 months. He was pretty much just coming off a milk diet and moved around about as much as any 13 month old does. Just reiterating that this is Type 1 and not Type 2 (diet and exercise can't fix this).

This means he receives insulin by injections or by his insulin pump (which pump sites are done every 2-3 days). Pump sites changes consist of a needle pushing a small plastic cannula under his skin that will deliver him insulin. He also wears a sensor which gives a blood glucose reading every 7 minutes.
