Because You Donated......

Researchers around the globe are pursuing new discoveries, therapies and devices in the never-ending search for the causes, cures and treatments for Type I Diabetes. The JDRF, a non-profit founded by parents determined to find a cure for their children, is the largest non-governmental supporter of Type I Diabetes research in the world!

Because of your donation, no matter how large or small.......

• The dream of a device that automatically reads and supplies insulin as required (an artificial pancreas) is within reach. >> READ ABOUT IT >>
• Researchers discovered how to convert pancreas cells in mice into insulin-producing cells. >> READ ABOUT IT >>
• UCSF doctors discovered that two common cancer drugs can prevent and reverse Type I Diabetes in mice. >> READ ABOUT IT >>
• The JDRF and Novartis create a four-year program to get new drugs from the research bench to patients. >> READ ABOUT IT >>

We are beginning to see some of the discoveries and tools we only dreamed about 8 years ago entering human trials or moving toward trials.

All this work takes money, plain and simple. That's why we walk every year to raise money to help the JDRF fund life-changing research. Whether you give $5, $20 or $100, every gift is greatly appreciated. It really does make a difference in the lives of real people, like our Shelby.
