Research Summit: A Success

Over 800 people attended last Saturday’s Breakthrough T1D TypeOneNation Research Summit presented by Lilly Diabetes.  To read more about the day and highlights from the presentations, read Stephen’s diabetes blog: Happy-Medium.net. Special thank you to our Summit Photographer, Bruce Peters,  for donating his talent and services.

The youth program hosted over 150 kids, ages 5-18. Some highlights included Steve Reichert from the organization Living Vertical, Mike Black who wore out our younger kids with silly games, and a going off to college panel for our older attendees. We had a group of wonderful volunteers who kept the kids safe, happy, and entertained! Thank you to all that volunteered their time and talents to make the youth program a success!
