A Little Recap:
We ended up with a group of about 15 people including 4 - Type 1's ranging in age from 9 to 35 and around 11 - Type 3's including friends, family and medical professionals that are effected by diabetes. We had first time Insulindependence participants and a returning family from last year which was great! We kicked off the day by meeting in front of The Sports Basement, who was nice enough to provide bagels and O.J. for breakfast. Then we headed across the street for a nice 40 minute run/walk at the park. Some of our participants made this a kick-off to their training season (a group of participants are all training for a half-marathon in March) by running multiple laps while others walked and talked. We had some great conversations (my favorite part) and it was really eye-opening for me getting to see first-hand parents interacting with and managing a child with diabetes. It was a humbling and enlightening morning to say the least. Most of all I think that everyone had a great time, met a few new friends, and burned a calorie or two in the process. Below are a few shots from our morning, you will notice in the group shot that has everyone holding up "Their Number" a Type 1, 2 or 3.... :)
