Our story…

In support of our own, Jen Eustace, who battles type 1 diabetes on a daily basis. We are inspired to help further research and better those with the same diagnosis! 



Description

Putting an End to T1D

Welcome to our Team JDRF to Cure Diabetes Chapter page!

We're taking steps to help JDRF progressively remove the impact of type 1 diabetes (T1D) from people's lives until no one has to fear developing this disease. By joining Team JDRF and making a donation to JDRF, you'll raise money to help fund critical T1D research and create a world without T1D.

Type 1 diabetes is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure.

JDRF is the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. Every dollar JDRF is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you. 

The challenge we've set ourselves — to raise money for JDRF and to race — is modest compared to the daily challenges of life with T1D, which involves a 24/7, unrelenting cycle of blood sugar testing and insulin injections to manage the disease.

Each member of our team is already hard at work in their fundraising. If you have taken time to visit our team page today, we ask that you consider making a donation to one of our team members by clicking on their name below.

Thank you for your support!
