To find a cure

On Saturday we participated in the Walk to Cure Diabetes at the Mall of America. Our friends Jory and Katie have a son Eli who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes shortly after his 1st birthday. It's been almost a year since all of their lives changed dramatically and we walked in hopes that a cure can be found so Eli doesn't have to spend any more years suffering from the disease. The turnout was amazing. The walk itself was a little hectic with so many people but once things got going people dispersed and thinned out a little. We were happy to help support our friends and their little boy and will continue to do so until there is no longer a need...let's pray for a cure!

This moment is rare for Eli. He doesn't get to enjoy fruit snacks often because of his disease. Another reminder of how much is different for him than most other kids!
