New Northwest Florida "Mod Squad" (Mothers of Diabetics)
Come join this support group once a month for fun, fellowship, and shared knowledge.
NWF JDRF has recently started a support group for mothers, children and families of diabetics. We meet every month at various locations around our community. Each month has a different activity, some just for mothers, and some for the whole family.
For our January meeting, we had a family bowling night. We had a wonderful time and the kids, ages 2 1/2 to 17, got to experience being “normal” because everyone was diabetic too!
Our April Mod Squad family meeting was held at Destin Laser Tag, and sponsored by Omni-Pod and Olive Garden. A big thank you goes out to Laura Burrough for setting it all up! We had 45+ people attend, and lots of fun was had by all!
For further information or to RSVP please email Lisa Goldsmith or call her at (850) 830-7126.
Attention All Proud Parents of Dynamic Diabetic Kids!
We are currently in the process of making a diabetes awareness video titled “We live among you, but do you know who we really are?” If you and your child/children would like to participate, please email your photos of your child/children doing “normal” activities and then photos of diabetic activities. Example, shots, BG testing, pump change, supplies and routines needed to survive everyday. Email Buddy Goldsmith for more information or to submit photos.
