As JDRF’s Children’s Congress is fast approaching, I wanted
to make sure you didn’t miss out on any of our exciting activities from last
month. Find out what we’ve been up to at JDRF Advocacy below:

• There
  is now even more reason to get involved with Type 1 Talk! Through the end
  of June, we are running a promotion for the ‘No Sugar Added’ poetry book –
  you can get 50% off an order of three or more! You can even win a trip to Washington, D.C.?
  Find out more about the contest here.

  Congress is coming up in just a few short weeks, and you can be a part of
  it even if you aren’t a delegate! Find out how you can support the
  Children’s Congress experience here.

  Last month, delegate families were hard at work recruiting advocates in
  the month-long Friendraiser campaign. Find out how many advocates the
  families recruited here – it is an astounding number!

  blog every day. Click here to check out the delegates from your state!

• Thank
  you to those who participated in our 2011 Advocate Survey last month. This
  survey is extremely important because it helps use continue to provide you
  with a rewarding advocate experience. We will have results of the survey
  later this month, but you can check out the mobile survey results here.

• In the
  beginning of May, we wrapped up the Senate letter to FDA Commissioner Hamburg
  about the artificial pancreas. Thank you to those of you that participated
  in the action alert! Find out how many Senators signed onto the letter
  here.
