My Promise Meetings

My Promise Meetings by Cameron Crouse, age 7 Alabama
 
On my Promise to Remember Me Meetings I met with Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) and Congressman Artur Davis. (D-7-AL)  I went with my Mom and my friends.  When I met with Rep. Davis I took him my Walk to Cure Diabetes Cameron's Crew Shirt and the blue CURE diabetes bracelet.  I wrote him a letter that said I've had diabetes for five years.  In person I thanked him for helping to cure diabetes.  He said he would work hard for legislation that would help cure diabetes.  He also told me that in my lifetime we would cure diabetes.  I liked meeting with Congressman Davis.
 
When I met Senator Shelby I also took him a Cameron's Crew walk shirt, a school picture, and a CURE diabetes bracelet.  There were other kids at the meeting who had diabetes.  Senator Shelby said he was glad to be able to help.  He thanked me for coming to meet him and for fighting for a cure.
 
I had fun meeting with my legislators about curing diabetes.  I hope that diabetes gets cured in my lifetime.  I feel good to know that I helped.
