JDRF Night at the Bulls

As many or most all of you know, our niece Hope has been diagnosed with juvenile diabetes and this has definitely opened our eyes to a whole new world since. One of our favorite discoveries after her diagnosis was of JDRF - Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. JDRF works to raise money for an amazing cause - to provide the opportunity for further research to be conducted in finding the cure for Type 1 (also known as juvenile) Diabetes. What an amazing idea...that one day they WILL find a cure for juvenile diabetes and that they are predicting that this will happen during Hopie's lifetime. So, can you blame us for wanting to support such an amazing cause? :)

Our first event with this foundation occurred on Monday night....JDRF at the Durham Bulls! (We know that you're all going to be SICK of Durham Bulls games on our blog soon...sorry!) We were very excited about going to one of our favorite places during the summer to help one of favorite foundations and with one of our favorite girls....
It was a great night to say the least!

Here is Hopie girl cheering for the Bulls.

We look forward to doing even more with our family and JDRF in the future. Our next scheduled event at this time is a Walk for the Cure so if you're interested in joining/supporting our team, don't hesitate by clicking on the following link...

the peeps at JDRF were trying to see if they could get the baber/hicks/farr families involved....
