Although there are many dedicated charities from which to choose every month, we decided to donate to JDRF. It is one of the leading charitable funders and advocates of type 1 (juvenile) diabetes research worldwide.
Diabetes is the name given to disorders in which the body has trouble regulating its blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes, also called juvenile diabetes, is a disorder of the body's immune system.
I was especially excited to see Niketalk make this donation. Last year, I had the opportunity to intern for JDRF. I was able to see firsthand the amount of dedication and support they offer those with type 1 diabetes. Many of us have friends and family members whose daily struggles include taking multiple insulin injections and checking their blood sugar regularly. JDRF's mission is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Thank you for helping to make this donation possible and for helping JDRF take one more step towards finding a cure.
