This year, Breakthrough T1D volunteers secured and attended over 300 meetings with Federal law makers.<\/p>\n<p>Locally, our Advocacy Committee has been spearheading meetings with New Jersey representatives to advocate on behalf of all people living with T1D. This fantastic committee is led by Advocacy Team Chair and chapter board member, Lisa Clarke, and she\u2019s been joined at these meetings by committee members Arianna Gehan and Dan Bisno.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Lisa and committee members Arianna Gehan and Kim McCoy met with Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) for a press conference. During the conference, Senator Menendez asked Lisa to sit down one-on-one so he could learn more of her story.
