Approximately 24 million Americans suffer from diabetes. While that number is staggering, it becomes personal when someone you love has been diagnosed. JDRF’s Walk to Cure Diabetes, brings local families and corporations together in one common theme... to raise the money necessary for the research that will follow the most promising paths to cure, treat, and prevent type 1 diabetes in the future.
Many of the families who participate in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes do so because someone they know and love has to live life with type 1 diabetes... they walk because they have made a promiseto someone they love to do everything they can to help find a cure for diabetes... they walk because they believeresearch will allow us to see a cure for type 1 diabetes in either our lifetime or theirs... and they walk to stepupfor all the people who have been affected by type 1 diabetes.
With your support, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation will continue its mission, to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. We hope you will join us on September 25, 2010 at the Walk To Cure Diabetes.
