WALK TO BENEFIT JUVENILE DIABETES RESEARCH FOUNDATION

A RFH Roots & Shoots family team, "Preston Prescription for a Cure," joined an estimated 23,400 walkers with 500 dogs at this event that raised nearly 1.9 million dollars for diabetes research. Along the three mile walk, we passed a crowd including new reporters gathered around a man carrying a small monkey in a diaper and on a leash. Our children expressed concern that it was wrong for this creature to have been taken from the wild, opening a discussion among our parents and children about primates in captivity.
