Lenaee was diagnosed with diabetes at 2.5 years old, 49 years ago. But that didn't stop her from her goals and dreams. She was active in a variety of activities, from Girl Guides to swimming, to dance and so much more!
Lenaee was a D-Camper in the 1980's and without it she truly believes that she would of felt alone in the battle. Instead, she met amazing people, and a couple who are going to be taking the runway with her in the fashion show! She found D-Camps to be a place where you can test your blood sugar or if your pump beeps it doesn't cause weird stares, which is what every child with diabetes goes through.
Lenaee wants to end the negative talks around diabetes. Misconceptions where people say things like "did your mom feed you sugar so you got diabetes at a young age" or "if you stop eating sugar and exercise it will go away" or "you can't have that with diabetes".
Lenaee was once told by a doctor that she will not be able to have children with diabetes, but now she has a healthy 18-year-old that she loves to bits! Additionally, over the past 13 years she has lost over 120 pounds, due to better control and a continous glucose monitor that corrects levels.
Please show your support by helping Lenaee reach her fundraising goal and support sending more kids to D-Camps!
