Standing Up For My Daughter at Eli Lilly
29 Oct 2018, 9:42 a.m. in #insulin4all USA by Pam Tyson Yasinski
I am not normally an angry or bitter person, but I am a mother who will fight for her children to the end.

Why I Protest to Fight for #insulin4all
17 Sep 2018, 12:03 p.m. in #insulin4all USA by Lori Ruder

I am not insulin dependent. My daughter Hattie has type 1 diabetes, and shares her story of using another person’s insulin.
