peer-reviewed , novel research focused on preventing and curing T1D , reducing its complications , and improving the quality of life for those affected by the disease . The organization ’ s unwavering
Camella and Richard Elliot commitment to seeking out the most promising T1D research across the country provides hope for individuals living with this debilitating condition .
However , the DRC cannot fulfill its mission without the generous support of donors . It is through the collective efforts of the community that the organization can continue its vital work until diabetes is eliminated . One way to contribute to this cause is by attending the 2023 Dance for Diabetes , a remarkable event supporting the DRC ’ s mission to fund innovative research for T1D .
Richard Elliott , a renowned saxophonist , and his wife Camella , are hosting the highly anticipated Dance for Diabetes event on Saturday , September 30 , 2023 .
The couple shares a personal connection to the cause as their son Bub was diagnosed with T1D at a young age . Even before their son ’ s diagnosis , Richard was actively involved in organizing fundraising events for diabetes . This firsthand experience has given them a deep understanding of the challenges faced by families affected by the disease . With the support of his family , Bub has not let his diagnosis deter him and even opened a fitness center called Metroflex Miramar in December 2020 .
Dance for Diabetes will be held at Richard and Camella ’ s home , with a tropical theme setting the stage for an evening of joy and philanthropy . Featuring the energetic DW3 party band , the event is expected to draw a crowd of over 300 people . Attendees can look forward to a raffle with exciting items and a live auction .
This event not only serves as a fundraiser but also raises awareness for those less familiar with T1D and its impact . By coming together , attendees can make a difference in the lives of individuals living with T1D and contribute to the pioneering research supported by the DRC . The organization remains steadfast in its dedication to finding a cure for T1D and thanks to the generosity of its compassionate donors , the DRC continues to pave the way for innovative research and to provide hope for a future where T1D is no longer a daily struggle . Together , we can connect for a cure and transform the lives of millions .
