Apply Today for JDRF's 2009 Children's Congress!

JDRF is now accepting applications for its 2009 Children's Congress, which will be held in Washington, D.C., June 21-24.  Applicants must be between the ages of 4 and 17 and have type 1 diabetes.

Children's Congress inspires lawmakers to remember the children who live with type 1 diabetes when appropriating funds for medical research and voting on other important federal issues relating to diabetes. Our children's stories, told in their own words, are more powerful than almost any other type of legislator education.
