Type 1 diabetes is a chronic, life threatening condition. People diagnosed with it rely on numerous insulin injections or pump infusions every day, just to stay alive!  Over 350,000 people in the UK alone are affected by type 1 diabetes with over 25,000 of them children.

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation exists to find the cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications, and is the world's largest charitable funder of type 1 diabetes research.  It was founded by a small group of parents of children with type 1 diabetes who recognised that insulin injections are not the cure for this life threatening and lifelong condition. Last year JDRF funded around 700 research projects globally as part of its ultimate goal to find the cure for Type 1 Diabetes.
