National Diabetes Awareness Month (NDAM) begins today and we need you to help us spread the word.

To kick off the month, we’re inviting you to take the T1D Looks Like Me challenge and help us to raise $125,000 in honor of the 1.25 million Americans living with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

This challenge is a simple, powerful, and interactive way to highlight how T1D affects millions of people all around the world and right here in our own backyard.  If you have T1D or know someone who does, help us raise awareness and funds for JDRF’s mission throughout the month of November.

Funds can be raised through your existing JDRF One Walk or Ride Participant Centers, by making an online gift at http://bit.ly/NDAM2016, or by sending a check referencing NDAM to JDRF New England Chapter, 60 Walnut Street, Wellesley Hills, MA 02481.  For more details on how to make a gift of stock or through a donor advised fund, please contact Lauren Shields at 781-431-0700 or lshields@jdrf.org.

Join the campaign and help JDRF build momentum.  Check out our NDAM Toolkit that contains all the information you need to start a successful fundraising campaign today!
