Video of the Children's Congress 2007

Each year, 150 kids with type 1 diabetes, ages 4-17 from across the country travel to Washington D.C. to urge their members of Congress to allocate more money in order to fund new research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. This video includes news clips and testimony from the most recent Children's Congress.

  • lilviola, fyi, i have had diabetes for 8 years, and you can go jump off a cliff for all i care. Havent you ever heard of something called hope!

  • you think diabetes is a buisness? me being a type 1 diabetic myself i dont beleive you, you dont know how much we want this cure! it wrecked our lives!

  • "BB"-Three videos? Keep searching and you'll find more JDRF commercial vids that I have commented on. It offends ME that people are that STUPID or naive o believe anyone would kill the huge business of diabetes with a cure.... Grow up! Can't U handle the truth or a different opinion other than your own? Props for this vid being slightly different than the other 3000 commercial vids for the JDRF.

  • lilviola...HONSTLEY GET A LIFE. how dare you sit here and comment not only one but now about three videos full of hope and turning them into something awful. i was a childrens congress member and thank you very much i am deeply offended by what you said. again stop being so negative...do the world and favor and SHUT UP with ur negativity. ive had it with you and your awful ways of life. SHUT UP.

  • You're sitting in front of congress and all you can think to ask for is funding for a cure? IDIOTS! You should have asked for an earlier retirement age for diabetics. Or free health benefits for T1 Diabetics. Or anything actually doable. That cure for diabetes would kill the business of diabetes and congress is all about keeping business in business. Mary Tyler Moore? What can I say? She has been singing that same old "cure coming soon" song forever and a cure hasn't happened or ever will.

  • Thank you for putting this wonderful video together. Curt and Abe have wonderful memories from Children's Congress 2007. Together we will find a cure!

  • We were there too. What an incredible experience. Thanks JDRF for giving us this memory!!

  • I went to this and it was awesome! I'm on here talking so cool!

  • Type 1 diabetes impacted our lives on Aug. 18 2006 when our daughter Jordan was diagnosed. Our lives were changed on that day. JDRF gives us hope, because JDRF is funding research that makes finding a cure possible. This wonderful video captures the beautiful efforts made by these kids and families and JDRF to do everything in their power to help raise awareness and funds so a cure can be found in their life time. Childrens Congress 2007 was wonderful and so is this video.
