My video production company has been working with JDRF for several years, including filming their Children's Congress event.
For this event, JDRF invites young people and their families from all fifty states to meet with their representatives in Congress. They share their stories of living with Type 1 and advocate for federal research funding.
Here's one of the videos we made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=725lBWmPPh0
These families are not shy about sharing the challenges they face. They're also incredibly resilient and optimistic about the future and the progress that's unlocked through scientific breakthroughs.
But scientific research is EXPENSIVE and they need help.
I moved to London in July 2022 and immediately fell in love with the city. With huge green spaces all over the city, it's a runner's dream! I knew I had to do the London Marathon in April 2023.
This will be my 2nd marathon and I'm already training my ass off! I couldn't think of a better cause and I'd be honored if you'd help me raise money for this wonderful organization.
