2016 Countdown to None 5K

Countdown to None 5k is the coming together of two families that life brought to live on the same street in Vienna, VA and both live with a silent but volatile “extra member,” type 1 diabetes. It is their goal to create a family event that brings out the strength and resilience their daughters have had to develop to live with this chronic auto-immune disease while bringing together the community in a year end celebration of strength through sweat, laughter and friendship. Countdown to None 5k is a race with many goals but the mission is to change the face of diabetes to give a more accurate picture of the millions of people who suffer from the disease to one of active people who care about their health but face the life-threatening difficulties of living with a chronic, auto-immune disease that has no current cure. In support of the mission, all proceeds will for to Breakthrough T1D, a 501(3)(c) and the leader in research for a cure for type 1 diabetes https://jdrf.org/ .
