“Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile” – Einstein
In 1996 when her daughter Ashley was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, at the age of 20 months, Laurie began her mission to see her daughter cured. She formed Ashley’s All-Stars two months after Ashley was diagnosed with T1D, and to date the Schreiner family and the All-Stars have raised over three million dollars for the charity. Laurie was the first JDRF Chapter Board President in Rochester, and served a 9 year term, after being named JDRF Board Chancellor.
Laurie recounts the doctor stating Ashley’s survival was a miracle. She turned that into purpose, intent and mission. “I have, and will continue to dedicate my time, my energy, and mostly my heart toward working to seeing a cure for diabetes. To Breakthrough T1D I have made this commitment.”
