The JDRF Children's Congress is the largest media and grassroots event held in support of finding a cure for Type 1 diabetes. Catherine and I will join 150 other delegates from all 50 states, as well as several international representatives from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Israel, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, in Washington! Delegates were selected from a pool of over 1,500 applicants between the ages of 4 and 17 to meet with their elected officials to seek additional funds from Congress for diabetes research. Several delegates (along with adult celebrities and JDRF representatives) have been selected to testify in front of the Senate Special Committee on Aging.
