JDRF Advocacy

JDRF is pleased to share that Congress reached an agreement on a long-term renewal of the Special Diabetes Program (SDP) in the amount of $150 mil annually through September 30, 2024.

The SDP has been critical to the #T1D community, facilitating progress that improves lives and advances research to treat, prevent and ultimately find cures for T1D through the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

This important win is the direct result of our Diabetes Caucus champions U.S. Senator Susan Collins, Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Congresswoman Diana DeGette, Rep. Tom Reed, and advocates like you, who work tirelessly to advance our mission. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available!

As part of JDRF My Ride, there will be ongoing community, fitness and fundraising challenges—starting next week—where you can engage with members of the JDRF Ride community, strive to meet your fitness goals and earn rewards for your fundraising. And we’ll be coming together (virtually) one weekend this fall to celebrate what makes Ride Weekend so special— the stories, the ceremonies, the special jerseys, our top performers, our collective accomplishments and you. We can’t wait to share more soon. Don’t miss out on the first challenge, kicking off on Monday. Register today! ride.jdrf.org

How is your quarantine workout going? Need some inspiration?

Tune in tonight to watch American Ninja Warrior Jr and #t1dChampion Katie Bone compete! Diabetes doesn't stop her! #jdrf #strongertogether

Tune into American Ninja Warrior Jr on Friday May 15th at 6pm ET to watch #T1DChampion and #JDRFCC19 delegate Katie Bone compete! Katie has lived with type 1 diabetes (T1D) since she was 11 years old, and hasn't let it stand in her way when it comes to pursuing her passions.

"It's really important for me to keep pushing myself and be an example. It's all right to let people know that you're different. It's ok. People need to know they aren't limited, they are limitless! I'm here to show them that despite T1D, I'm moving forward and accomplishing everything I want."

Good luck, Katie!
