Yoga for Diabetes

This past weekend, we held a Yoga for Diabetes fundraiser to raise money for our upcoming JDRF Walk (this Sunday, October 26th).  We had an amazing yoga instructor - Kori (you can check out her blog, The Whole Fit Yogi, here).  Kori was generous enough to donate her time and a portion of the proceeds of 2 yoga classes to benefit Savanna's JDRF Walk Team - "Savanna's Angels" - and the JDRF.

We were touched by how the number of people who came out to support Savanna - we had family, friends, old teachers, friends of friends...all who had an amazing morning of yoga while supporting our T1D!  It was Yoga for a *GREAT* cause -- with continued funding, we hope the JDRF can one day find a CURE for Type 1 Diabetes!

Savanna also made a poster to have on display about Type 1 Diabetes - together we decided how she wanted to share her story,  how to explain Type 1 Diabetes, and how to show what she has to go through every day.  Below is what she wanted to share about her story:

She had some help from Mommy, but I thought she did a great job!

We are looking forward to this upcoming week as well.  The teachers & staff at her school have purchased "Savanna's Angels" t-shirts to wear for a Dress Down for Diabetes day on Thursday.  And then, of course, Sunday is our big walk with family & friends!  We can't wait!

Until then...xoxo
