Let’s Create a World Without Type 1 Diabetes

Thank you for visiting our memorial donation page. When Mark’s youngest daughter was diagnosed at 7 yrs of age, he put on a rubber JDRF bracelet. He told her that he would wear it until a cure was found. He wore that bracelet until his passing. We wish to honor him by supporting JDRF because we believe in their vision of a world without Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).

With T1D, a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin – a hormone essential to turning food into energy. The daily life of someone with T1D brings a multitude of challenges, including insulin injections that need to be carefully balanced with eating and activity, disruptive glucose monitoring, sleepless nights — and wishing for a tomorrow where this struggle doesn’t exist.

Mark wanted his legacy to include being a part of JDRF life – creating breakthroughs to remove the incredible daily burden of this disease — until it no long exists.

Thank you for honoring Mark’s memory by donating and supporting JDRF’s important work.
