An Awesome Day!

The Walk to Cure Diabetes in San Francisco was awesome!

The weather held for us.  The scenery was fantastic.  The people and the never-ending support for Team Shelby and our fight to defeat Type 1 Diabetes were beyond words.

We're still processing all our thoughts and emotions from that day, which also saw our SF Giants win the League Championship.  But here are some first photos of the day.  We're getting more organized and will add them to this little album shortly!

Walk Day Info Now Available

Walk Day is already here!  It's going to be a fabulous day going across the Golden Gate Bridge, even if it does drizzle on us a bit.

We get to experience the very best of the historic Presidio and the beauty of the Golden Gate.

We'll start at the Main Post for registration, bagels & coffee starting at 9 a.m.  At 10:10 a.m., Team Shelby will board our very own shuttle bus for the 30-minute drive over the Golden Gate to the Walk start.

After we walk across the Bridge, we'll head down the hill by the old fort to scenic Crissy Field where we'll pick up lunch, enjoy music and get our team picture taken.  It's a 15 minute walk back to the Main Post where we parked our cars.

Directions and maps for everything is available here.

Jazzercise Tour de la Cure

October is a huge month for Team Shelby:

• Shelby was diagnosed in October 2001
• Bay Area Walks to Cure Diabetes are in October
• The Giants are making a playoff push this October

Then there's the Team Shelby Jazzercise Tour de la Cure that starts this Sunday!  Team Shelby mom Liz was asked to lead the warm-up at each of the four JDRF Bay Area Chapter Walks to Cure Diabetes:

• Oct. 3 - Silicon Valley (California's Great America in Santa Clara)
• Oct. 17 - Monterey Bay (Lover's Point in Pacific Grove)
• Oct. 23 - San Francisco (Golden Gate Bridge)
• Oct. 24 - East Bay (Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek)

Liz has done past warm-ups at three of the four Bay Area walks.  It's a tremendous honor to be asked to warm-up all four of the walks.  It's a great way to use our skills in a small way to help make Walk day a little more special. 

We'll load up photos and videos from each Tour stop as we build excitement toward Team Shelby's trek across the Golden Gate Bridge!
