Our Gives Back team joined the Kira’s Cure Bears for the 2016 JDRF One Walk in Phoenix. It was a beautiful day to walk alongside Kira in support of her hopeful quest to go from Type I Diabetes (T1D) to Type None.Each day Kira lives with the daily challenges of T1D, which include multiple cycles of blood sugar testing, insulin injections, middle of the night checks and constant carb counting. Despite these challenges, she does not let this disease stop her from living a full and active life.
Kira is a sophomore in high school with a 4.0 GPA, is involved in archery and her school paper, was awarded a Gammage Rising Star award by ASU’s Gammage Theater and is a member of the Key club and French club. Plus, her amazingly positive attitude makes her shine bright as a Youth Ambassador for JDRF.
