Thank you for supporting the Landsbury Academy 2021
READ - A -THON!
We are hosting a Read-A-Thon (February 1-March 16) to raise money for Type 1 Diabetes.! Our Will was diagnosed on January 5, 2021 with T1D. T1D is an autoimmune disorder which causes the pancreas to "fall asleep" and stop producing insulin. Insulin is crucial for survival. It is what allows the cells in our bodies to break down glucose (sugar) that we get from food. We are very grateful for the life-saving insulin, however it is a lot of work stepping in as a pancreas! Will has to constantly watch his blood sugar and take shots of insulin to regulate his body.
It's really no fun, which is why we are raising money to help support organizations that teach families how to manage this disease and fight for a cure! |
The organization we have chosen is "Let Me Be 83." It is a non-profit, that teaches families about the importance of healthy diets and the management of T1D. It is the one source of information that held us above water when we were initially diagnosed. It fosters a low-carb lifestyle which is proven to regulate blood sugars, protecting our kids from life-long complications.
If you would like to sponsor one of the Dunlap Kids, please click the link below to join our crusade! You can either pledge an amount per book OR just make a donation in Will's name. We appreciate everyone's support and hope that we can keep spreading the word so more people will learn about T1D and we will find a CURE!! |
