World Diabetes Day in NYC with Dexcom
Arden is a Dexcom Warrior...
Arden had the opportunity to join Dexcom CEO Kevin Sayer on World Diabetes Day as he opened the trading day by ringing the NASDAQ bell - it was a great time! I brought you back some pictures and video.
Dexcom covered our lodging, gas, parking and one meal (that meal came with a cookbook). We paid for everything else (and it's New York City). They did not ask me to post about the day, but I'm assuming that they knew I would - because, ya know - it was a fantastic day for diabetes awareness!!!

Arden's 10th Anniversary JDRF Walk
Arden was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just after her second birthday in August of 2006. That October we participated in our first JDRF Walk.
First Walk 2006, Age 2
Yesterday we walked for the tenth consecutive year...
Arden designed her own walk shirt this year to mimic a softball t-shirt. Big thank you to OmniPod for being cool with us using their Podder logo to make the shirt. It was a great day, the weather was perfect and a ton of Arden's friends and teammates came along in support.
