Recently, I co-chaired my very first JDRF Walk event. I am happy to announce it was a huge success and we have surpassed our goal of $20K and are on our way to the $25K mark!

And a huge thank you to Peter Bellizzi for all his assistance with getting us the Hudson Valley Rail Trail at the Rotary Pavilion site, as well as Reg Osterhoudt for supplying us with tunes all day! You guys are the best and we are grateful!

Diabetes is a relentless, 24 hour a day, life-threatening disease. I am grateful to JDRF Greater New York Metro for all of their support and the wonderful work they do. It is never too late to donate! Together we will find a cure!
