Anchored in a Cure is a nonprofit, volunteer organization, dedicated to funding research for the treatment, prevention, and ultimate cure of diabetes.
Founded in 2012, “Anchored in a Cure,” was created as a loving memoriam in honoring my son, Andrew Erickson.
Andrew, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of Six.
Andrew grew up understanding his disease, and the limitations it could render upon him, but he continued his life valiantly. He loved his family, and friends, and he loved his life.
Andrew succumbed to a hypoglycemic seizure while sleeping.
He was 27.
Dedicated to funding research for the treatment, prevention,
and ultimate cure of diabetes.

Andrew had type 1 diabetes. With that we worry all the time about our other children and our grandchildren developing diabetes. Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age. If you have a close family history of Type 1 in your family you can be screened to see if you will develop Type 1 through an antibody test. THE VERY BIG NEWS is the development of Teplizumab, a drug that has been approved by the FDA to help prevent the development of Type 1 diabetes. This is very big news.

Teplizumab binds to certain immune system cells and delays the progression of T1D.
Most folks knew my precious Andrew as an adult. This picture below shows him much younger. Forever with a smile on his face, he accepted his diabetes and lived most days with that smile. Sometimes it is very hard to stay focused on a cure when this dreaded disease took the life of my child. I am very grateful for the continued support Anchored in a Cure receives. Diabetes is a VERY difficult disease. If you have a loved one with diabetes please be sure to reach out to them today and let them know you support them. It's not easy xo ⚓️⚓️⚓️
