FUND A CURE At JDRF, we do not turn away from challenges. We are forever inspired by the generosity of our unstoppable type 1 diabetes (T1D) community, which has remained strong and resilient even in the most difficult of times. With your help, we can continue our fight for a world without T1D with greater urgency, now more than ever. Fund A Cure donations provide JDRF with integral funding to move lifechanging therapies and technologies out of the lab and into the waiting hands of those living with T1D. As always, 100% of every Fund A Cure donation goes directly to T1D research and is completely tax-deductible. Please join us this year in making your Fund A Cure commitment to move T1D research forward for the 1.6 million Americans living each day with this disease. The Power of Us, standing together, will keep our mission of finding cures moving ahead without delay. We cannot do this without your help. Thank you for being a champion of hope for our community.
