Founded in 1970, the Mid-Jersey Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is one of the oldest chapters. It serves six New Jersey counties: Middlesex, Mercer, Somerset, Hunterdon, Morris and Hudson.  The chapter provides valuable information about juvenile diabetes to people with diabetes, their families and the general public. The chapter holds numerous successful events that raise much-needed funds for diabetes research.

We are excited to announce that Jake Fine will be representing our chapter at the 2011 Children's Congress! He has been a crucial member of our Mid Jersey family since his diagnosis in 2004. He and his family created the JDRF Golf & Tennis Open, which is one of the chapters main events. After this year the event will have raised over 1 million dollars for JDRF! A major part of that event is Dollars for Diabetes, which is managed by Jake and his brother Daniel. He also successfully leads Middlesex/Mercerss Team Brotherly Love Walk Team each year! Congratulations, Jake!
