JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes in Philadelphia

October 25, 2009

Today I was on the crew with Dave and Steve to shoot the annual Walk to Cure Diabetes movie.  Media Wave Video Productions has produced this movie for the last three years for JDRF.

After last night’s heavy rains, we were lucky and happy the weather held out and gave us a crisp Philadelphia morning.  An estimated 10,000 Philly area walkers came out to raise money for The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

The enthusiasm was palatable as Gabrielle Howarth sang our national anthem and Mayor Nutter delivered an inspiring address to the crowd, encouraging everyone to help solve this growing problem. It was truly a remarkable scene to look out on the thousands of people united by this common interest.
