Jackson Sullenberger Wins JDRF Contest
Jackson Sullenberger, 5th grade, recently won a contest sponsored by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in Georgia.
Jackson created the winning design for the customized Triumph Motorcycle auctioned at the JDRF Hope Gala on Saturday, May 6. The motorcycle was provided by Hourglass Cycles and customized by Jesse Spade Designs.
Jackson's connection to diabetes is his brother, Dylan. Dylan was diagnosed with T1D over a year ago. Jackson entered his motorcycle design to support his brother and help raise awareness for T1D. The winning bid for the customized motorcycle was $16,000.
"To me, the colors of the rainbow represent joy and happiness and when you see the rainbow, you know the storm has passed and you will find peace, happiness and inspiration. The rainbow I colored on the motorcycle at the JDRF One Walk, represents the hope and inspiration I felt by the JDRF community to make Type One Type None! Thank you for choosing my design and thank you for everything you are doing to help my big brother," said Jackson.
