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/ . Tax deductible donations and sponsorships available. Email cljackson25@hotmail.com with interest or questions.
