Over the next six weeks, I will try to post as much as possible to raise awareness of adrenal insufficiency, how to train in heat and how things are going! Also, I want you to know that not one penny of this race is going to me. My husband is paying for all of my gear, travel expenses, food and hotel rooms. We've also donated to AIU as well.
Proceeds will enable representatives from
Adrenal
Insufficiency United
to attend the
(and other AI
awareness conferences)
The awareness about HOW to treat,
and the MEDICATION to treat an adrenal crisis
is not readily available to all emergency medical personnel.
AIU’s goal is to change that--and we need your help!
Dusty Hardman, a runner who also happens
to be adrenal insufficient,
is joining with Adrenal Insufficiency United
(AIU) to promote awareness
of this under-recognized, but very treatable
disease.
Dusty will be running 7-9 days--over 300 miles!--in the
“Last
Annual Vol-State Road Race.”
AIU's MISSION STATEMENT:
Adrenal Insufficiency United--Bridging the gap between health professionals and those living with Adrenal Insufficiency through awareness, support, collaboration and research.

Dusty, thank you so much for what you are doing. My young son has had three adrenal crises, and now has epilepsy which was most likely caused by a brain injury suffered during the first crisis. He just got out of the hospital today after a week of testing related to his epilepsy.
