Folks came out and had a great night--a fun auction and concert and it definitely feels like success! Many family and friends from the community came out to show their support which meant a lot to all of us. After my dad's prompting I gave a rather impromptu speech I was unprepared for, but received accolades and positive feedback so I must have done alright!On the DHF front, the world pitched in to get the BiG Blue Test video over 100,000 views (107,868 views and counting) which means a $75,000 donation to the neediest children in the poorest of countries in need of life saving insulin!

It was hard enough getting it then. I can’t imagine getting it as a child. The shots, food restrictions, and constant monitoring is a difficult thing for children and their families. That’s why research and funding is needed until there is a cure. To that end, I have another great interview in the Putting a Face on Diabetes series. I’m always amazed at people that get involved. It doesn’t matter how they are involved, to me doing something is so much better than feeling helpless or complaining. To that end, I came across an online diabetes fundraiser a few years ago that was put on by Brenda Novak, an author whose son has diabetes. I was so impressed by her efforts (and wait until ...

The stand began as a way to keep the kids occupied, but turned into a bit of a money maker. It's been so successful, in fact, that it's now in the running for the title of Best Lemonade Stand in America. Yes! There is such a thing. Cute, huh?The Rusings donate the proceeds from the stand to diabetes research. The stand is named "The Mighty Quinns" for Quinn Rusing. Quinn, who is four-years-old, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age three. He helps run the lemonade stand, along with mom, Carolyn, and six-year-old twin sisters, Cali and Olivia. The secret to their success appears to be the free cookies. That's right. Free Famous Amos cookies with ea...

However a blessing in disguise was bestowed upon Dylan Fossella, an 11- year-old boy who also happens to be the son of Vito Fossella, a Congressman from Staten Island. Dylan Fossella, was just five years old when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. He will be one of 150 other children and teenagers living with type 1 diabetes from across the country heading to D.C. on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. They will speak to lawmakers to encourage funding toward a cure. To earn the trip to Washington, he had to write a letter to his local Congressman, who happens to ...
