We have a friendly competition here at Storyteller to see who can get the most photos with animals while out in the field. Kevin and Eli may have a little bit of an unfair advantage on their shoots with Dr. Ren Bleem, an animal chiropractor... but Chris made sure he found a four-legged friend during his time with Goodhue Soil & Water Conservation District up in Minnesota!

Thursday at Storyteller: Eli and Kevin spent the morning with Jim Fulgenzi and team at RE/MAX Professionals Springfield in their beautiful new co-working space. Payton and Chris tested the slide in the lobby of the new building for Springfield Clinic Pediatrics. It works! (Yes, we did do some work as well.) We've decided every doctor's office, for children or adults, should have a slide in the building. Let's make it happen! 🛝🩺🥳

Glut1 Deficiency is a rare genetic condition first defined by Darryl De Vivo, MD, Pediatric Neurologist at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. In those suffering with the disease, glucose isn't transported properly across the blood brain barrier and into the brain, preventing it from growing, developing, and functioning the way it should leading to severe developmental challenges.

A research symposium and reception was held on Thursday, September 21st in honor of Dr. Darryl De Vivo, now Professor Emeritus at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. It was a wonderful opportunity for the many physicians, scientists, and family members touched by Dr. De Vivo and his work over the years to be able to come together to share research updates and pay tribute to him and his many years of service to the field of pediatric neurology and beyond.

It was also the debut of our tribute film, produced in partnership with the Glut1 Deficiency Foundation, in honor of Dr. De Vivo’s retirement, capturing his role in the story of Glut1 Deficiency. We are excited to share it with you and are extremely grateful for the Glut1 Deficiency Foundation, Dr. De Vivo, and all he means to the Glut1 community.
