JDRF Greater Dallas Chapter hosted the JDRF Diabetes Research Day Luncheon with special guest and keynote speaker Natalie Strand, M.D., winner of the Amazing Race season 17. Dr. Strand was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 12. The DCMSA was inspired by Dr. Strand's speech and we wanted to follow in her footsteps and raise awareness about Type 1 diabetes while challenging local families to a Family Friendly Fitness Adventure. See and hear her speech below.
