Walk for Diabetes in Manhattan

This year we found out our nephew Josh was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Manhattan had a walk for diabetes in October and it started at Battery Park, went across the Brooklyn Bridge, and back. About a 10k walk. Matt, I and the girls formed a team with some of Matt's coworkers, and we raised over $500!! Thank you to all our friends and family who donated to helping find a cure for juvenile diabetes. The weather was beautiful, we ran the first half, girls were great and stayed in the stroller sleeping and people watching. Thousands of New Yorkers came to participate. It's something we'll never forget. And Josh- we think you're so brave and we love you!

We made these team shirts. MBP is the company Matt works for.

Thousands of walkers on bridge.


Trying to give you an idea of all the thousands of people walking, united in doing good for a common cause. Hope.
