The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges in all of our communities. The headlines were grim and seemed beyond our control. What we could control and take tremendous satisfaction in was ensuring that JDRF’s effort to curing type 1 diabetes and improve the lives of those facing the disease continued without interruption. 

As we were unable to use our events to reach as many new supporters as we usually did, we launched the JDRF Hero Campaign calling upon our most committed volunteers to help bridge the fundraising gap and continue powering our mission. We received overwhelming responses from the following individuals and families who helped us face adversity with courage, resilience and strength. 

Thank you to our heroes.
