JDRF Sit In/Protest UN-Walk.



This was the 16th year for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Shooting Stars family team to gather to raise money for diabetes research! And for our 3rd year in a row, we staged a Sit In/Protest UN-Walk. Over 50 “un-walkers” gathered, on the first sunny day we’d had in weeks…shared bagels, pastries and coffee, friendship and support…just WONDERFUL!

To date, we’ve raised over $6,000, with monies still coming in! And our t-shirt proved to be a “talking” point, illustrating the exciting new research, coming out of UCI and JDRF, involving the venom of sea anemones from a bay in Cuba.

For all your support and love, THANK YOU so very much!

With hugs,

Joanne Milo
