"It was thrilling to see the smiles on the children's faces as the Jonas Brothers sang and when Nick talked about his own diabetes," says Francine Kaufman, MD, of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. "Nick's willingness to be so public has made people around the world feel differently about diabetes."
"We're excited to be back here at the home of Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman this year," says Nick Jonas. "Speaking as a person who lives day to day with diabetes, anything we can do to help raise money and awareness to fight this condition, is truly important to us."
