We just got home from the JDRF One Walk at the Philadelphia Art Museum – it was a beautiful fall day, only to be made better by the love and support we had from the family & friends who came out to walk with us.
Some interesting facts we learned today at the Walk:
- Over $1 million dollars was raised for the Philadelphia walk
- The first US outpatient artificial pancreas trial has received FDA approval (a post on this and other advances in Diabetes research coming later)
- JDRF funded research has led to advancement in beta cell development – beta cells produce insulin and the ability to produce these beta cells artificially could mean a *cure* for T1D
Overall it was a wonderful day that made Savanna feel
special and our hearts happy. After our
3 mile walk, we decided to walk another 1 ½ miles to the Reading Terminal and
spent the rest of the afternoon with friends in the city.
There’s not much I can say – the pictures of family and
friends say it all...
Until there's a cure...xoxo
