Dara, You have dealt with finger pricks and insulin shots, lows & highs since you were 5! Now you are gracefully dealing with the challenges of all that and motherhood too! We love and applaud you! One day there will be a cure because of your hard work today!

Love, Mom & Bruce

A very heartfelt thank you to all of our friends and family.

Your continued commitment and support to raise money to find a cure for our beautiful daughter Dara and the millions of others like her is the best gift our family and friends could ever give us.

For that we are forever grateful.

SPECIAL THANKS TO

DR. CAMILLO RICORDI DIRECTOR THE DIABETES RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND CELL TRANSPLANT PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI

Reaching The Biological Cure At the Diabetes Research Institute, our vision is a world without diabetes.

That’s why our singular focus is on a cure. Building upon decades of extraordinary progress and armed with critical insight from clinical transplantation trials, the Diabetes Research Institute is taking the next quantum leap toward a biological cure. In a unique and exciting approach, our scientists are combining their expertise to create a DRI BioHub, an integrated “mini organ” that mimics the native pancreas. With the worldwide network of centers comprising the DRI Federation, we are working at a swifter pace than ever before to bring the promise of restoring natural insulin production to millions of children and adults living with diabetes.

In honor of

BARBARA HATZ and in support of the DIABETES RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOUNDATION
