  • this is the 4th video I've watched and everyone has made me cry and cry. My son has had type 1 since he was 18 months old, he is now 7 and doing well. It's so sad to see kids being so brave as they endure finger pricks and insulin needles multiple times a day. Bless their little souls...

    Its so sad...

    By the way, my whole familiy are active members with JDRF, and work hard to raise money to find a cure!

  • This video was amazing, I'm sitting here crying.

    I have been a type 1 diabetic since 10 days before my 16th birthday, exactly two months ago tomorrow. I pray every night for a cure for this terrible disease, so kids like Blake and me can live carefree for a long, long time. <3

  • I was diagnosed when I was 8 I'm now 17 almost 18. God bless each and everyone out there who has diabetes, when controlled I feel like every other person without it, but when not it gets stressful and tiring and makes u want to give up, but I just say no I'm not the only one out there who faces this. Someday, hopefully they will be a cure. god bless, Atlanta x

  • I swear ! I cry when i saw this video last april 14 2011 in our diabetes camp. Me too is a diabetic. Being a Diabetic isn't easy . there were times that i wish i die because i don't want to see my parents wordking hard just to buy my medicine :(

  • Ah, i can't stop crying.

  • Blake & His Parents-

    Hello my name is Kaitlyn(:

    I am thirteen years old.

    I have Type One Diabetes, and i am not going to lie, it definitely tears me down at times.

    I can only wish the best for your family.. I sing to make myself feel better,(this is my covers channel) it is my escape ; and my freedom, it doesn't require poking my finger or taking insulin (:

    Blake will find something that takes his mind off of it and he will continue to be a amazing little boy(;

    Best of luck-

    Kaitlyn(; <3

  • so sorry and i`m so sad. my son he`s 6 years old and type 1 about 6 month ago ; (

  • Very touching video, It brought tears to my eyes. I do believe every day is one more closer to the cure. With all the research and breakthroughs I truely believe there will be a cure found in my sons life time. Never give up hope! Hope is in a cure and together we can find it!

  • We need a cure

  • This was truely moving, bravo.
