Noah, Jacob and Nathan Robertson (12U) (left to right) got to meet Chicago Cubs pitcher Brandon Morrow at Wrigley Field prior to the September 26th home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.  

Both Nathan and Jacob were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes almost four years ago.  Brandon Morrow also has Type 1 diabetes and through JDRF, graciously shares his life experiences as a major league baseball player with kids and families who share these same challenges.  Brandon wants to show the children that there are no limits to what you can achieve.

Brandon hosted Nathan and Jacob on the field during batting practice to ask him questions, share stories and give them pointers.  Jacob and Nathan offered Brandon a Bartlett Silver Hawks hat and made him a Hawk for the Day.

JDRF is the leading global organization funding Type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.  www.jdrf.org
