I was pumping in 2001 , thanks to Amy ! Fast forward , Amy had a massive heart attack early spring 2011 ; she recouperated and October 9 , 2011 Amy participated with Team Diabetes in her second 10 k run , Kelowna , BC …She and her daughter crossed the finish line upright and smiling 1hour, 17 minutes and 17 seconds later …my Champion with a very supportive daughter …another Champion !

Gordon , my Champion , my Husband since early eighties , when I was diagnosed . Gordon in the mid eighties took on ” the job” for a few years as a Board member of the BC Division of the Association .He has supported me in many different ways , for instance eating healthy meals, in my fund raising efforts from selling raffle tickets to joining me on Team Diabetes events , Summer Surge Birthday parties , driving me to and from the airport for me to attend CDA meetings across our provinces.
