Day 12 – Ava

in

     Hi my name is Ava. I’m from Long Beach, NY. I was diagnosed with T1D when I was 8 years old. That’s when my whole life changed.

      For me I try not to worry about my numbers all the time because I’m a kid…. and I just like to have fun.

     The thing about T1D that’s bothers me the most is many people don’t understand Type 1. They think I ate the wrong foods or drank too much soda. It’s hard work to explain it but I try.

     T1D has taught me that me and family are stronger than this disease. I want everyone to know I love dancing, shopkins, and beanie boos. I also love all animals and I hope people will be kind to animals and help take care of them.

     I love my life, and my family, and friends. I want a cure because I don’t want anyone else to have to go through T1D. Please support the Breakthrough T1D because everyone there cares about making life better for families dealing with TID. They also really want a cure too.

Please consider making a Fund A Cure donation in honor of Ava and others living with T1D by clicking here.
