Dear Family, Friends, and Friendly Neighborhood Superheroes,

This summer, I am excited to let you all know I will be traveling to Ecuador as a volunteer with a nonprofit organization called AYUDA. For about a month, I will be working with other volunteers and a partner organization called Fundacion Diabetes Juvenil Ecuador. It is our goal to influence and improve the lives of young people with diabetes, empowering individuals to gain the tools needed to manage and thrive with their diabetes.

As you may know, I have had Type 1 diabetes for about 8 years. I have been extremely blessed with a wonderful support group, including my parents, doctors, and friends from the diabetes community. The past three summers I have worked as a counselor at Bearskin Meadow Camp, a diabetes camp in Sequoia National Forest. Through this experience (as well as my experience as a camper), I have seen firsthand the amazing impact a diabetes camp can have on a child's life.

AYUDA - American Youth Understanding Diabetes Abroad - itself is a nonprofit volunteer organization that empowers youth to serve as agents of change in diabetes communities around the world. Our emphasis is on developing and implementing sustainable diabetes programs throughout the world. Volunteers like me play an integral role in this process.

AYUDA is a grassroots volunteer organization that relies on donations from beautiful, selfless, diabetes advocates like you! Volunteer fundrasing contributes to the majority of the costs of AYUDA's programs and local diabetes projects.

For more information about AYUDA and its important work, please visit their website. ( www.ayudainc.net )

I will be traveling to Ecuador from July 19th - August 6th but my journey begins today! I need to reach my fundraising goal by June 27th. Please support me in this important goal by making a contribution. Making a tax-deductible donation online makes supporting AYUDA quick and easy; however, if you would prefer, you can send your contribution to the address listed below.

To mail in a donation: Make all checks payable to:AYUDA Inc and please put my name in the Memo field.

Mail to:

AYUDA Inc, 1700 N Moore St, Suite 2000, Arlington VA 22209



Your tax-deductible gift makes a difference. Your support will ensure that local diabetes programs will continue to thrive and ensure that young people in these communities will have access to education and tools that will help them live happier, healthier lives with diabetes. Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up!



I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
