Kids Art Project – “Creative Minds”
– Each year, children affected by type 1 diabetes come together in the Hudson Valley to create a heartfelt piece of artwork, like these 2 unique serving trays with tiles painted by each child. On Art Day, families told us their story: Type 1 diabetes is something we have, it’s not who we are.  We are creative, strong and happy kids.  We look forward to the day we don’t have to worry about high or low blood sugars, having to stop playing our favorite game to prick our finger, or being woken up to treat a low in the middle of the night.  We can’t wait for our Cure.
