A group of JDRF advocates met with Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison at the dedication of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute at the Houston Medical Center on Friday, March 19 for the JDRF "Promise to Remember Me" meeting. JDRF advocates present were: Stella and Skye Garza, Jordan, Brian and Charlie Amis, Shelley, Lindsey and Matt Spector, Meredith and Fielding Cocke, Richard Colt, Judy Haley and Melinda Rose. Senator Hutchison has been a stalwart supporter of diabetes research for many years. Listening to her speak to those gathered to open the Institute, the advocates were struck by her remarkable emphasis on medical and innovative research. When asked by the children if she would remember them when making decisions about type 1 issues, she responded, "How could I not!" Thank you, Senator Hutchison for your continued support!
