Register and Spread the Word When it comes to fighting type 1 diabetes, there is strength in numbers.  We are all working together to build bonds among those personally affected by type 1 diabetes, as well as with our members of Congress.  These relationships strengthen our community, provide support for those who are living with type 1 diabetes, and deliver our message - the need for a cure - faster and more effectively.

You can help us build critical bonds and achieve our goals by doing the following:

  • Register as a JDRF Advocate by clicking here or by texting 'ACTION' to 56333.
  • Spread the word to your family, friends, neighbors, and otehrs you know who are affected by type 1 diabetes.  The more people who are involved in supporting funding for type 1 diabetes research, the more powerful JDRF's voice will become. 
  • Learn how you can turn your efforts in recruiting new advocates into bronze, silver, or gold.
  • Find JDRF of Facebook or Twitter
  • Create a "Conversations for a Cure" in your area! (Find more information on this as well as many other volunteer opportunities at www.jdrf.org)
