Patient 13

A part of blogging is sharing information.  Recently I have been asked to share a little information about finding a cure and a doc film.

I click the link from the email and from the very start to the end of this short I was in tears.




Here is a little information about what Lisa and Scott King are up to.


Lisa has had Type 1 diabetes for over 20 years. She's also been a successful filmmaker for over 17 years. But this new project - Patient 13 - is her most personal work to date.

The film is a feature documentary about the race to cure Type 1 diabetes. They are following Scott King – scientist, entrepreneur and Type 1 diabetic – at the climax of his 30-year quest to cure the disease.


They have started a Kickstarter campaign to help launch this film.

There you will find more information about the film as well as a quick and easy way for people to participate.  They believe this documentary has the potential to help this invisible illness gain the level of awareness and visibility that it demands.

And of course on this 11day on the 11th month I take time to thank the ones who have fought for mine and my families freedom.
 
In Flanders Fields By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
