The annual Walk is JDRF’s flagship fundraising program,  and is essential to JDRF's ability to award research funding and act as a powerful advocate in the T1D (type 1 diabetes) community. Any walker can tell you that the Walk is fun, celebratory, and incredibly rewarding.   

Since 1992, the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes has raised more than $1 billion for T1D research! JDRF have reached this milestone through the donations, large and small, raised by Walkers.
