he
mission of Kids Rock The World is to empower
young teens with diabetes to take control. This program
focuses on promoting courage and confidence so that kids
don’t let diabetes stop them from living a life they
love.
Centered
around a day of outdoor fun, teens reach beyond what they
think are limits of a world with diabetes to build self-esteem,
in ways that enhance their own ability to manage their total
health.
The American Diabetes Association is committed to providing educational information and referral services for children and families with diabetes, advocating for fair and quality treatment of children with diabetes in schools, and increasing federal funding for diabetes research.
