JDRF is now accepting applications for its 2011 Childrens Congress, which will be held in Washington, D.C., June 20-22.

To complete the application online, or to download a hardcopy to submit through the mail, please visit http://bit.ly/CC11App.

Held in odd-numbered years since its inception in 1999, Childrens Congress brings more than 150 children with type 1 diabetes and their families to Washington, D.C. Childrens Congress participants represent all 50 states and the District of Columbia. They meet with Members of Congress and other key federal decision-makers to help educate them about the critical need for federal funding for type 1 diabetes research. Childrens Congress participants represent all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Applicants must be between the ages of 4 and 17 and have type 1 diabetes. All applications must be received by JDRF by 5pm EDT on Monday, October 4, 2010. You can view a list of frequently asked questions regarding the application process by clicking here.

Childrens Congress inspires lawmakers to remember the children who live with type 1 diabetes when making decisions about medical research and voting on other important federal issues relating to diabetes. Our childrens stories, told in their own words, are more powerful than almost any other type of legislator education.

To learn more about Childrens Congress 2011 and to complete the application process, visit the Childrens Congress website at http://cc.jdrf.org or email JDRF at childrenscongress@jdrf.org.
