Jerry Mathers, better known as
the beaver from Leave It to Beaver, is part of the "Help is Here Express."
Mathers said it's important to raise awareness about chronic diseases
and medications that can control those.
“I know how devastating a chronic disease can
be and it's not just diabetes. A lot of them are like that. People who know
they have a chronic disease and can’t get their meds, it's absolutely devastating
not only to them but to the entire country,” said Mathers.
