What do five kids ranging in age from 5 to 14 who live in Greenwich, Stamford, Darien and New Canaan all have in common? They all live with type 1 diabetes and have volunteered to walk the fashion runway at Catwalk, an annual fundraising event for JDRF. JDRF is the leading organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research to transform the lives of people with the disease — to make day-to-day life with T1D easier, safer and healthier and ultimately find a cure. The Catwalk runway show by Darien Sport Shop features not only these local models but also professional ones donned in spring and summer must-haves. Guests have the opportunity to participate in the “IT Bag!” raffle in which the very latest handbags are raffled off.
