Kaitlin Webb: Anyone can make a difference

I have definitely educated my friends so much about living with type 1. They have helped me in so many ways to get over my fears. I have also done the JDRF Walk the whole time that I have lived with this disease. It is so exciting walking with my friends because we all know that it is for a good cause. I love educating people about what I have to go through every day.

It's really weird that not many people know what this disease can do to you. It is a major life-changing event and teaching people about it makes me feel better. I want people to know that even a little donation can make a difference. I haven't yet gotten involved with legislators but I am looking forward to it when I am in Washington, D.C. I think it will help so much in terms of finding a cure, and I think going to Washington will help me get more involved with legislators.
