Connection to Diabetes
I’ve had Type 1 Diabetes for 13 years and am currently on the Animas pump.

Race I’m Running
My second half marathon!

Why I’m Running with TeamCIM
I’m running with CIM because they provide a service which I believe is vastly lacking for Type 1 diabetes care. Doctors always tell patients with Type 1 diabetes to exercise, but then don’t provide the real help needed to manage the condition through the exercise. CIM shows people with Type 1 diabetes of all ages that they are capable of doing anything while managing their Type 1 diabetes. CIM is inspiring, CIM is peer support, CIM is the no-longer missing link in Type 1 diabetes care.

My Training Tip
My race tips can probably be summed up best by the Oatmeal: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/marathon_do
