JDRF Gala.....

This weekend, my wife and I were honored to attend the JDRF Gala held in Jacksonville Florida. It was really a pretty amazing event. They had a silent auction that was huge!
There were hundreds in attendance and I know that they had a very positive fundraiser in the $ column. Everyone was very kind and it was a lot of fun. Thanks to the folks at the local Jacksonville Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
I was espescially touched by a picture they showed on the projector screen of a little guy who was probably 3 or 4 and was getting an injection in the back of his arm. The look on his face really got to me. It is interesting as I was diagnosed at 13 months....I was that kid a long time ago, and I have never been bothered by the i njections or any of the process. As a parent however, the picture of that little guy really got to me......I'm not sure why all of a sudden I was hit by the dramatic heartfelt sympathy for the little boy.
Well, the good news is, technology and science is making huge inroads on D and this little guy will probably be cured in his lifetime.
Keep going..................Peace, Bob
