Brendan meets another world leader to talk type 1 diabetes
Posted on Dec 21, 2009
After visiting the White House to meet US President Barack Obama with 150 young people from around the world earlier this year, JDRF Youth Ambassador Brendan still had a couple more names on his list of world leaders to meet and talk about type 1 diabetes. He was able to cross another name off recently when he had dinner with the Prime Minister of Australia, Kevin Rudd.
JDRF: How did you come to meet the PM?
Brendan: My Federal MP, Roger Price, invited me to his annual dinner dance. He was being honoured for serving 25 years in Parliament and invited the PM as his guest of honour. When we arrived at the dance, I was told by Mr Price’s staff that I would be sitting next to Mr Rudd for dinner, which was quite exciting!
