Special guest Brandon Morrow, starting pitcher for theBlue Jays, was on hand to meet and greet the families.Brandon was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 18 yearsof age, and did not let that stand in his way of becominga professional baseball player. He took the time tospeak to the kids and parents about his diabetes care onand off the field. Eric Thames, outfielder for the BlueJays, was also on hand to lend his expertise to theyoung players.
Autographs were signed and lots of pictures were taken.It was a wonderful opportunity for the children with type

RECOGNITION CORNER
Never too young to be a philanthropist!
There are many ways your child can play a part infinding a cure for diabetes.

Charmz4charity has developed a school program thatbrings the concept of philanthropy to a child’s level. Theschool kit provides everything the school needs to make200-250 bracelets. Once the bracelets are made, thechildren devise an advertising strategy to market andsell the bracelets. All sale proceeds are donated toJDRF. For more information: www.charmz4charity.org .
