Sandy was 34 years old when she was told she had adult-onset type one diabetes. As a mother of four children, all under the age of 10, she was worried about how she was going to manage this diagnosis, while also taking care of her family.
Sandy is modelling in the Pump Couture Fashion Show because she wants to raise awareness about diabetes and how devices helped her better maintain her diabetes. As a busy mom, she didn’t always have time to prioritize her own health, sometimes letting her blood sugars get dangerously low, necessitating visits to the hospital emergency room.
Despite the obstacles posed by her diagnosis, Sandy's greatest source of pride remains her family. Through the highs and lows of her diabetes journey, their unwavering love and support have served as a constant source of strength and inspiration. Sandy remains grateful for the blessings of her family and community, driving her desire to give back and make a positive impact on the lives of others affected by the condition.
“I have felt extremely supported by the diabetes and medical community and want to give back. I donate modestly but would like to help larger scale fundraising.” - Sandy
Help Sandy reach her fundraising goal to send kids to D-Camps, because she knows firsthand how important support and community is when managing diabetes.
Thank you for your support.
