I am proud to introduce Nel P
The people I continue to meet through our website and blog keeps me focused and inspired.
Today I would like to introduce you to Nel Peach, from Salmon Arm BC
From the very first email I received from Nel I could tell that she had something to share and a passion to participate and support Team H2V.
Nel has type one diabetes and is a coordinator of her local “pumpers” support group – people living on insulin pumps. Nel has single handily taken on all the Salmon Arm and Kelowna districts to get the H2V massage out to the community.
Nel and her fellow pumpers have been raising money and are making arrangements, gathering banners and t-shirts to greet Team H2V as we pass through town. Nel has also been making the rounds to speak with her local media outlets and advise them of our event and is coordinating their coverage. Nel’s husband has also jumped onboard by suggesting they round up all the local city Councilors, Mayors and MLA’s.
I was particularly entertained by Nel’s concern to get all this work done as she was leaving for holidays and she is training for the TD Kelown Half Marathon.
One other thing I would like to share with you about Nel is that Nel was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 42 1/2 and, as Nel told me – “that was 24 1/2 years ago.
Way to go Nel!
We need more people like you across Canada.
I thank you for championing “our” cause and look forward to seeing you and your team in Salmon Arm.
