Kids Spotlight

Special thanks to Paige Knoll of Paige's Parade family team for representing JDRF as a youth ambassador during a recent Walgreens meeting.  Paige shared her experience living with diabetes and helped motivate everyone in attendance to get more involved!  Thank you, Paige!

Do you want to be like Paige?  The JDRF Illinois Walk team is always looking for youth ambassadors to attend meetings and share their stories of life with diabetes.  A Youth Ambassador truly makes a difference every time they speak on behalf of JDRF!  To sign-up as an official JDRF Youth Ambassador, please contact your local Walk Manager.

Calling All Youth Groups!
In 2010, twelve Boy & Girl Scout Troops participated in the Ron Santo Walk.  Do you know any youth groups that would be interested in walking with us?  If so, please let us know.  One of our Walk Managers would be happy to meet with them to discuss how they can get involved.
