As we kick off our support for the 2014 Walk to Cure Diabetes through JDRF, the girls for a second year in a row, took a stab at handcrafting a design for the Ford Motor Company Race Car Team.
This is a fun little contest where the drawing with the most money wins a design on a REAL Ford Race Car. Pretty cool!
What's even more wonderful, is that it is a national contest, so kids from around the United States that are living with T1D can enter.
From the JDRF Website:
How it works:
"Our Everyday Heroes" Race Car Design Contest for JDRF
JDRF and Motorcraft/Quick Lane are joining forces to help raise awareness and funds for type 1 diabetes (T1D) research through the "Our Everyday Heroes" Race Car Design Contest for JDRF. The winning design will be featured on the Motorcraft/Quick Lane Ford Mustang Funny Car driven by Bob Tasca III. Now in its seventh consecutive year, the contest has raised over $340,000 for the cause.
This year, the winner will attend the Mile High NHRA Nationals, July 18-20, 2014, in Denver, a professional drag race where the JDRF-themed Ford Mustang Funny Car will race at speeds faster than 300 mph.

What is neat is that all money heads right back to JDRF to help research step closer to a cure.
Thank you for cheering the Naturally Sweet Sisters on!! We appreciate your help in finding a cure for T1D!!!
