JONATHAN PLATT GIVES THANKS Jonathan Platt is nine years old and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of six. He gave thanks with a prayer at The Carousel of Hope Ball. Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for gathering us all here tonight for this special evening.

God, we know you are working on a cure for type 1 diabetes and we are thankful. Thank you for the kind and generous people here who have given their time and money to help find a cure. Thank you for blessing us with Mrs. Davis. She has worked so hard for so many years to help find a cure for type 1 diabetes.

I know in my heart that I will be cured of this disease one day.

God, may this be a fun, successful and safe evening for everyone here.
