Promise to Remember Me Campaign Update

On March 12th Maryland Advocates met with Representative Steny Hoyer in his district office in Waldorf, MD. Heather and Doug Vereen and their 10 year old son Zachary spoke about his use of the pump and how he doesn't let T1D stop him from playing his favorite sports- including lacrosse. Advocate Andrea Koshko spoke about the challenges of adolescence and managing diabetes. Bonnie and Les Warrington relayed stories about their niece and how she is currently in graduate school. Congressman Hoyer inquired about health insurance and asked about the most recent research and treatments and how NIH plays a role in research. He also thanked JDRF volunteers for raising money to contribute to the research for a cure.
