Allred will represent North Carolina while on the Donor Life Float in the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California.
Doctors diagnosed Allred with Juvenile Diabetes when she was 10.
"My parents told me when I was diagnosed that I wouldn't live to be 30, and I definitely wouldn't be able to have children," said Allred.
Type 1 Diabetes would haunt Julie for the next 33 years. By the time Allred turned 40, she was beginning to experience daily episodes of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.
"It was becoming dangerous many times or most times life and death situations," Allred explained to WFMY News 2's Tracey McCain. "It was to the point that they were ready to take my drivers license away. I had to step down from my management position as a nurse because of it."
