Dear Friend,

L-R: Brian Hudson, the Hudson Group; American Diabetes Association volunteers Courtney Dorsett and her son, Cristian; Missy, Anna Lynne and Representative Matt Ramsey; Governor Nathan Deal; Andy Lord, Georgia Capitol Solutions, Inc.; Association volunteers Larry and Elissa Holder and their daughter Melissa; Brittany Freeman, Association Advocacy Director; Jamie Dukes, CEO, Put Your Dukes Up Foundation, Inc.

We did it—let's celebrate our wins for kids with diabetes!

This week, we had a big victory in the fight to protect our children. Governor Nathan Deal signed Georgia’s Safe at School legislation, a bill that will make sure school-aged children with diabetes have the care and support they need to succeed.

And earlier this month, at the opposite end of the country, the Alaska Board of Nursing and the Department of Education both agreed to policy changes that will similarly protect our kids!

We worked hard together to make these victories happen. Yet, as we celebrate our wins, we are still fighting in other states across the country, where children are being placed at risk every day.

Help protect our kids and make sure they are safe and healthy at school.
