Description

JDRF is the leading global organization funding Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) research. JDRF’s vision is to achieve a world without T1D and to
turn type 1 into type none. We are the largest non-profit funder of T1D research in the world, with a mission to accelerate life-changing
breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat T1D and its complications.
The Sun Life Walk to Cure Diabetes for JDRF brings together Canadians from coast to coast to unite and raise funds to
accelerate the pace of T1D research.
The first Walk was held in 1994 in three locations – Toronto, Hamilton and Ottawa – and collectively raised $100,000. Since that
inaugural year, the Walk has grown annually to dozens of communities who have raised almost $135 million for T1D research over the
last 28 years.
The Walk serves as a special opportunity to bring together those connected to T1D to unite and raise critical funds to accelerate
research towards a cure.
