I was wandering through the streets of East Village in NYC this weekend just looking for somewhere fun to stop when a sign caught my eye.  The Cure Thrift Shop.  What a cute shop…full of great finds.  And ALL of the proceeds benefit the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation.  I enjoyed meeting the owners, Liz and Marty Wolff and hearing the story behind the shop.  Liz was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 14 years ago and decided to combine her passion for “stuff” with her personal mission to dedicate her life to finding a cure for diabetes.  Since opening last summer, The Cure Thrift Shop has already donated $200,000 to help find a cure for Diabetes.  Wow!  The shop was featured on a news segment on NY1 last week.
