Children’s Congress Delegates traveled to Washington, DC to testify before the Senate and speak to their State representatives, urging them to support funding for T1D research.  On September 30th, just over two months from now, the Special Diabetes Program — $150 million for #T1D research — will expire unless our delegates and the entire JDRF community persuade Congress to pass legislation to extend it.

Huge thank you’s to Los Angeles delegates Bria Edidin, Madison Gallo, Elijah Lidgett and Miranda Speirs; and to Angie and Jonathan Platt, Family Chair and Family Chair Kid.

Watch the moving Senate hearing here.
