JDRF

Saturday, we had the amazing opportunity to walk with Ella and her family at the annual Walk to Cure Type 1 Diabetes.  JDRF's mission is clear:

JDRF’s goal is to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until we achieve a world without T1D. JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners and is the only organization with the scientific resources, regulatory influence, and a working plan to better treat, prevent, and eventually cure T1D.

Ella was diagnosed with Type 1 last year, and it has been a year of learning and change for her and our favorite Prose's.  It was an incredible experience to see all the kids and families walking in support of finding a cure.






 And, when you add our first trip to the American Girl Story (overwhelming and a bit creepy),


 with an evening of kids playing until they crash, and adults playing until well past their bedtime,

 pretty great day.  Oh, and over $2 MILLION was raised.
