Mary and Paul Zellmer’s son, Jim was just six years old when he was diagnosed with Type I diabetes. When Paul came home from the pharmacy with a bag filled with insulin and supplies, Jim panicked and said, "how long will I have to take shots?” His dad told him “for the rest of your life.” The small boy’s eyes filled with tears and he said "Mommy fix this." From that moment on, Pumpkins For A Cure was born and the Zellmer family has been raising funds to find a cure and help raise awareness for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).
Pumpkins For A Cure, a non-profit organization, will host
their fifth annual pumpkin drive to benefit the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). ALL proceeds raised for this event go to JDRF. For more information and event details, please visit the news and events section.
