Mary Blair is one active little girl! She loves participating in ballet and art classes, playing tennis, and is an avid reader as well. Mary Blair is also very active when it comes to raising awareness about T1D. She and her family raised $6,000 through their JDRF One Walk team this past year, and she is excited to be a part of Children’s Congress. “We are working so hard to raise awareness and help find a cure for type 1 diabetes, and even though I’m only six, I know that I can change the world!”
