Stories of Change - My Raising Awareness Story

My Raising Awareness Story

Hi, my name is Lexi. In the summer of 2009, my best friend (on the left)and I had a fundraiser on the beach, selling lemonade and homemade bracelets for Change For the Children and we raised over $240.

June 7th, 2010 I was rushed to the ICU with a blood sugar of 1,005 and diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Ironically, we had raised money for something that will now personally affect me. Since I have been diagnosed, I have been planning many more fundraisers to raise diabetes awareness and find a cure.
