Mouledoux, Bland, Legrand & Brackett’s walk team, Marching 4 McFaull, will once again be participating in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) One Walk. Due to Covid and Hurricane disruptions, JDRF has taken a new approach to this year’s One Walk, offering virtual and in-person options. MBLB’s One Walk – Your Walk, Your Way event will be held Saturday, November 6, 2021.
Five years ago, MBLB started participating in the JDRF One Walk as a tribute to our colleague, Jordan McFaull, who passed away from Type 1 Diabetes in 2015. Marching 4 McFaull will continue its efforts to help the JDRF raise money for a cure and create a world without Type 1 Diabetes.

About Jordan McFaull
Jordan McFaull, who was a graduate of Tulane University and Loyola University College of Law, joined Mouledoux, Bland, Legrand & Brackett after passing the bar in 2014. He passed away unexpectedly in 2015 as a result of complications from Type 1 Diabetes. Jordan was an industrious and resourceful attorney and a cheerful addition to our firm. He is missed by everyone with whom he worked. We will be walking in his honor.
As Jordan’s father, Rod McFaull, wrote to us after the 2016 One Walk,
“Diabetes is a devastating disease, much more than people realize. I am so thankful for the firm’s willingness to help defeat this terrible disease in Jordan’s name. As the firm’s goal kept rising and being met and then surpassed again, I sensed Jordan’s spirit saying: “… press on, press on, and don’t stop.”
MBLB’s Commitment to JDRF
MBLB believes strongly in JDRF’s mission to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. We have formally adopted JDRF as the firm’s philanthropic charity and will be matching the funds raised by our team.
Marching 4 McFaull is walking to help JDRF continue to fund life-changing type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and create a world without T1D. T1D is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. It strikes both children and adults and is unrelated to diet and lifestyle. With T1D there are no days off, and there is no cure—yet. Your support can help change that.
By donating to or joining our team today, you can help fund research that impacts the lives of the millions of children, adults, and families challenged by T1D every day. With your support, we will help JDRF turn Type One into Type None.
Thank you to everyone who supports the cause and our friend, Jordan.
