Were grateful to the entire Culvers team for all of their support and encourage the community to dine with us on Feb. 16, JDRF Illinois Executive Director Mimi Crabtree said. Living with type 1 diabetes is difficult and even life-threatening. Those affected serve as an inspiration by facing the diseases challenges with courage and perseverance, and they dont let it stand in the way of achieving their goals.
