Deer Park family uses holiday light display to raise money for Type 1 diabetes research

Today is World Diabetes Day and a Deer Park family is hoping to light the way to a cure. Take a look at this beautiful holiday lights display on Namlaps Lane. James Henschel has been displaying lights for years as a way to bring joy to the neighbors. But this is the first year his diabetes design took the stage. James's youngest daughter, Gabriella, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 11 years old. The lights display is free to attend, but the family is collecting voluntary donations for type 1 diabetes research. It's an everyday struggle. Some days it's high, some days it's low. So we want to help spread awareness and get the word out and hopefully raise some money to maybe one day find a cure. And the family's goal is to raise $2,500 for the group Breakthrough T1D. We are told they raised $1,200 in just a few weeks. And you can visit their display and see something new from now through December.
