Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that affects millions of people around the world. As JDRF’s flagship fundraising event and the largest T1D event in the world, JDRF One Walk has raised more than $1 billion dollars for life-changing T1D research.This research has led to breakthrough discoveries, many of which have already moved into clinical trials and real-world testing. Although there has been considerable progress, there is plenty more we have yet to accomplish. JDRF One Walk provides the perfect opportunity to get more involved in your local JDRF community and show your commitment to creating a world without T1D.
