Why I Run: Reason #13*

I run because diabetes SUCKS...

Diabetes is in my family and there's no way around it. All generations on both sides, so technically, I'm screwed. But, I'm not letting it stop me: I'm staying healthy for as long as I can. Complications from this awful disease took the lives of two of the most important people in my life: my Grammy and Grandpa. I miss them so much and wish I could have done something to save them, but I couldn't. Diabetes flat out sucks!

I run the Nordstrom Annual Beat the Bridge to Beat Diabetes race every May, supporting JDRF. Join me in 2010 and beat the bridge!

*These reasons are in no particular order.
