Why: Juvenile (type 1) diabetes strikes children suddenly, makes them insulin dependent for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications such as stroke, blindness, and amputation.  JDRF International, a Forbes
top-rated charity, is the leading charitable funder and advocate of diabetes research worldwide. Founded in 1970 by parents of children with juvenile (type 1) diabetes, JDRF’s mission is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.  Since its inception in 1970, JDRF has awarded more than $1.16 billion to diabetes research.
