A young nephew of a Bentwood Elementary School physical education teacher in Overland Park, Kansas, has Juvenile Diabetes. He gave a wonderful talk to the students about diabetes and using an insulin pump. The kids asked great questions and the boy was very open and honest in answering them. Afterward, they held a fundraising walk for diabetes, circling the school building 3 times and then the gym a couple of times. After each lap they were treated to vitamin water and fruit. Collectively, they raised $2300 by getting sponsors for the
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I had the pleasure of sponsoring Julia, one of the students who talked the talk and walked the walk. Great school spirit, respect, and support was given to this worthy cause.
