Battling diabetes is something that is close to our hearts since Adam has Type I Diabetes. AFC's mission at it's core is to raise awareness, show other diabetics that anything is possible, and to do anything to combat diabetes!


Today we made an amazing visit to the Pediatric Department at Sinai Hospital. Thanks to the efforts of Kristin Mylot, who works there, we were able to visit with all of the children who are there for surgeries, sicknesses, and diabetes.

It was probably the best stop yet on our trip! Hanging out with those kids who were there and telling them about our adventures and trying to lighten up their stay in the hospital was absolutely amazing! I could have stayed there all day long.


Apparently they have been following our trip the entire summer. Kristen setup a bulletin board tracking our progress with pictures and funny comments of us on the road.

You Guys are amazing!!! I want to thank for all the love and inspiration that you have spread across the country this summer. So many people have been touched, and will always remember, those 5 Guys from Maryland who gave up their summer to teach us that people can care.

I just want to thank you guys so much. You made all those kids days alittle brighter and gave the kids hope for the future and taught them that they can do anything if they just try.
