Walk for Kailyn
Team Kailyn consists of My Mom Jean, my sister Katie and my sister in law Jayme.
Exciting news is happening right at this moment in research to find a cure. I got this e-mail this am.
The Walk to Cure Diabetes is our most important source of fundraising, accounting for more than 40 percent of the money we raise on an annual basis. Nearly half of this money is raised by type-one families, one dollar at a time.
Based on scientific advances over the recent past, JDRF is looking to fund more research this year than ever before - $195 million, compared with $160 million last year.
We fully recognize that economic issues can impact the ability of individuals to raise money for JDRF. Unfortunately, diseases like type 1 diabetes do not track economic market performance.
The ability to maintain strong momentum in research – to follow up on the progress made in the past few years – can mean the difference between accelerating the discovery of cure therapeutics, or seeing that pace slacken.
Through your involvement with JDRF and the Walk to Cure Diabetes we are one step closer to finding a cure! Check out the article below about the progress of the Artificial Pancreas Project:
Researchers Outline Steps to Artificial Pancreas
This article was published on-line last week by Clinical Endocrinology News, reporting on a July 20-21 conference hosted by JDRF, and the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, identifying next steps in the development of an artificial pancreas. Video presentations by the scientists on the conference program can be viewed at: http://www.jdrf.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPage&page_id=124AF2B5-110A-9BB5-F817F2552C8A0A58. A full conference report can also be ordered from the link. The JDRF Artificial Pancreas Project has a dedicated webpage at http://www.artificialpancreas.org/. The homepage includes a running log of media reports on the artificial pancreas.
