Maybe if enough of us tag @nickjonas he'll share too and we can REALLY expand this....

[John Navar @JohnNavarSr]

There’s something different about seeing it happen in person.

Watching these kids realize the Barbie is for them, seeing their faces light up, then watching them tear into the boxes and start playing together within minutes.

That’s why we do this. 🎀

@SidSuri @BlastingThrough @DivesTech Thank you 😊

[John Navar @JohnNavarSr]

At our local T1D Ice Cream Social, kids’ eyes lit up when they saw a box of pink Barbies.

I told them they were getting their own.

They jumped up and down.

Within 20 minutes, they were out of the boxes and playing together.

$8,000 raised in 3 days.

@Glorfindel18442 @BlastingThrough @ryanattar 😆 I’m FAR from a medical professional. I’m just a guy trying to make these kiddos feel seen and let them know that they aren't limited by their diagnosis.

Barbie has she can be anything: astronaut, president, doctor, AND a girl with Type 1 diabetes. That’s what I’m here for. ❤️

Several months ago, you may recall that I wanted to help out my friend and fellow EOD veteran, John Navar, with his project to spread awareness about juvenile diabetes. My grand niece, Lauryn, died from this disease. Because of your support, they ran out of Diabetic Barbies. Now, they've secured 10,000 more, so here's a link if you would like to help. Thank you.

@BlastingThrough We Were Soldiers is one of my favorites for sure

[John Navar @JohnNavarSr]

Last year, @SaraFields and @MikeVining helped us get the word out and helped make it possible for us to get 2500+ @BreakthroughT1D @Barbie dolls into pediatric diabetes clinics across the country.
We need to talk to @Mattel , who can help?

[John Navar @JohnNavarSr]

After a delay, our shipment to UMMC is now in kids’ hands on diagnosis day.

We’ve delivered 2,500+ nationwide, and demand is only growing.

Appreciate the support from amazing people like @BlastingThrough along the way.

Would love to work with @Mattel to scale this.
