Walk 2 Cure 2013

This year we put together TEAM OAKLEY again for the Walk to Cure Diabetes.  We are SO BLESSED to be surrounded by such incredible people.  We were able to raise just over $1300!! It is such a humbling thing as we watch the emails come in stating that we have a new donation.  We also had great support from friends and family again on walk day!
 What would we do without her best friends? Lauren and Katie were both able to be there this year.
 We also had Grandma Hawkins, Yvonne and her girls, Grandpa and Grandma Romrell (who walked the ENTIRE 3 miles after walking 2 that morning as part of a walk to the temple! What GREAT great grandparents!), Grandpa and Grandma Jacobson, Jessica and girls, Hollie and girls (plus she brought her sister-in-law and her girls) and the Barrie bunch. 
I cry at the walk every year.  Diabetes is so very real to us because we live with it every second of every day and to see so many other precious children that live with it just like we do is very heartbreaking.  We are blessed to have so much love and support and we know we are not in this fight alone.  And we will continue to fight UNTIL WE FIND A CURE!!
