A cure for type 1 diabetes!!!!

I am SO excited to finally be able to share this with you all! For several years we have been following a doctor and her team that have been working on a cure for type 1 diabetes. Up until now we have always asked everyone to donate to JDRF. While this has been great and the advancements have been amazing, we have always wanted to bring more attention to Dr. Faustman and her team. We have been donating to her for a few years now. Lee Iacocca has supported her a great deal. His wife had type 1 diabetes and when she died he promised her he would help find a cure!

We know many people know about JDRF and so it is easier to ask for donations. We are wanting to bring more attention to the Faustman Lab and make more people aware that there is an actual cure going through human trials. I'm excited to be able to share this information with everyone when it is going to be a start of a new year! This next year we are going to be doing whatever we can to help raise money to donate to The Faustman Lab. It takes money to find a cure, and she found one so we want to help her and find the money! :-)

I will keep everyone up to date on what we will be doing to raise money. Two things we are going to do this new year is to sell Shanie's Dream Team t-shirts and also awareness bracelets! They are in the works so we will let you all know when they will be available!

For more information about Dr. Faustman and her team or if you would like to donate, please visit www.faustmanlab.org

I'm really excited for this new year and to be able to share the hopes for a cure for type 1 diabetes!!

Hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
