Christopher is SUPERMAN

Our son Christopher was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes in July 2002.  At that time he was 2 years old.  Since then, our son and entire family have gone through total life changes.  Our son has remained very active and happy through the entire process of being diagnosed with the disease, as well as, learning to cope with the necessary treatment routine that goes with diabetes. 

We consider ourselves personally fortunate to have been blessed with a wonderful child like Christopher and such a supportive daughter in Nicole.  We have found a true hero in life, who is able to deal with this disease and all that goes with it, before doing anything else each and every day.  This hero is our son Christopher.

Caring for a child with diabetes has become part of our every day life routine and we have made a vow to do everything in our powers to help all people affected with diabetes and hopefully one day witness a cure for this disease.

This is how and why Christopher’s 5-K Run & Walk For Diabetes came to be.  Please take this opportunity and participate and be a superhero just like Christopher.
