twice as far!

Friend,

This week marks a significant moment in our ongoing fight to end diabetes. As we observe World Diabetes Day this Thursday during American Diabetes Month, we invite you to double your impact with a matched donation. Thanks to the generous support of the Garland family, every dollar you donate today will be matched—up to a campaign total of $100,000—amplifying your contribution to our fight to end this disease.

Trish Garland has a personal relationship to diabetes:

Diabetes hits close to home for me. I've had type 2 diabetes for 18 years, and several family members have had it. My brother was diagnosed as a child and has lived with the disease for over 50 years. And my grandfather, W.W. Estes, passed away from diabetes complications.

Thankfully, diabetes treatment and management have come a long way over the years, and I'm very grateful to the American Diabetes Association^® (ADA) for the many ways they're improving the lives of people with the disease. Some of that includes funding medical research, which has rendered both hope and progress. They also provide support and education for patients and their families, and they're vocal advocates for those who are battling diabetes.

I know firsthand how diabetes has impacted the Estes family. And that's why I'm glad that the ADA is one of the worthy charities supported through our company's annual Open Heart, Open Road Employee Directed Giving Campaign. Employee health and safety are top priorities at Estes Express Lines, which is why we also offer resources to help our teammates maintain a healthy lifestyle, prevent diabetes, and eliminate unnecessary medications. Estes even provides them with access to a free app that supports both mental and physical wellness.

It's my hope that diabetes will one day be a thing of the past. Until then, I'm proud to support the ADA with this match campaign, which can make a real difference in so many lives.

The Garland family thanks you for your support,
Trish Garland

With Trish Garland and her family's generosity, we can transform awareness into tangible action and push closer to a world without diabetes. Let's seize this opportunity to make a significant impact. Your donation today not only doubles in value, but in potential to change lives.
