Share what Rufus means to you!
Kids hold him tightly in hospital beds. They carry him to doctor’s appointments. They practice insulin injections and glucose checks on his paws until they feel ready to do their own. He is their cuddly, steady reminder that they are brave.
Do you remember him?
Rufus, the Bear with Diabetes®, and JDRF’s Bag of Hope have brought support and comfort to newly diagnosed children and their families for 20 years.
To commemorate his 20th birthday, we invite you to share what Rufus means to you as we blow out the candles and send him a birthday wish!
Thanks to friends like you, Rufus and the JDRF Bag of Hope will continue to bring comfort, healing and understanding to children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their families.
