(September 15, 2021) – A Minnesota couple are hoping their Pretty Simple CURE mittens will help bring relief to millions around the world this Winter.
Leah and Doug Mickschl launched Pretty Simple CURE several years ago when their young daughter Gracie was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Since they’ve raised vital funds for research leading to a cure for the disease.
November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, and proceeds from Pretty Simple CURE mittens will go directly towards Type 1 Diabetes research.
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease in which the cells that produce insulin in the pancreas are mistakenly destroyed by the body’s immune system. People with Type 1 diabetes are dependent on injected or pumped insulin to survive. In addition to the disease itself, those who suffer from Type 1 Diabetes are also at elevated risk for kidney disease, heart disease, stroke, as well as problems with vision. While the disease can be managed, there is no cure.
“When your daughter is diagnosed with something like type 1 diabetes, you’ll do everything possible to find a cure. We can’t just sit back and wait. We founded Pretty Simple CURE.” said Leah Mickschl.
Currently there are 8 colorways of Pretty Simple CURE Mittens, all sell for $30 a pair. They are available in sizes S, M, L and can be worn by men and woman of all ages. They can be purchased at https://prettysimpleme.com/pages/cure-landing-page.
Pretty Simple CURE, will donate every penny possible from CURE mittens to partners that fund Type 1 Diabetes research and help those living with the relentless disease. These nonprofit organizations include Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), Chicago Diabetes Project, Can Do Canines, and T1International.
Leah is the founder of an online retail company called Pretty Simple. Her husband, Doug, is a partner and Creative Director at boatBurner, a brave idea company in St. Paul, Minnesota. Together, they combined their expertise, passion and desperation to find a cure for their teenage daughter, Gracie.
“Our goal is about making tomorrow better. Not just for Gracie, but for the multitude of people around the globe diagnosed with type 1 diabetes” said Doug. “Nothing can create a fire in someone like when your child is diagnosed with an incurable disease. We got creative.”
