Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and dramatically changes their day-to-day life. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure. JDRF’s highest priority remains funding research to deliver a cure for T1D and its complications. At the same time, JDRF is also focused on developing better treatments that will transform the way people with T1D treat the disease today, in order to help them live healthier lives now and in the future. JDRF’s outreach efforts provide practical support and resources for people with T1D and their families every step of the way as they live with T1D. Finally, JDRF also seeks to prevent T1D, to keep future generations from developing the disease.
Campbell’s Field will feature fun activities along with food and information for children and adults. If you have questions, please feel free to email johnston-kathryn@cooperhealth.edu.
