Next month, a 15-year-old girl will spend three days in Washington D.C. as part of an international delegation to spread awareness and ask for support to research juvenile diabetes.
Caroline Carter, who will be a sophomore at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in the fall, is one of the 150 delegates ? aged 4 to 17 ? who were selected to represent the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) from a pool of nearly 1,500 applicants with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
The 2013 JDRF Children's Congress delegation, which includes members from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, is scheduled to visit Washington July 8-10 to meet with members of Congress ? which include both the Senate and the House of Representatives ? to explain their experiences living with the disease and encourage them to support research until a cure is available.
