Happy Holidays to everyone from the JDCA!
It has been an exciting year, with many big changes for our organization, and with new discoveries in the search for a type 1 diabetes cure. Later this week we will present a more in-depth overview of our year, but for now we wanted to share our mission for 2012. Our team has grown, and all of us will work hard on achieving the following:
- To educate donors
- To unify voices toward a cure
- To prompt transparency and accountability to push research forward
- To better align funding allocations with the intentions of donors who are contributing for a cure
- To make the intentions of donors who contribute for a cure not only heard but achieved
Our mission is to keep expanding our alliance, keep publishing reports that will educate our readers on how the major diabetes foundations are using the type 1 money, and create a sense of urgency that will hopefully encourage researchers to adopt a more focused approach towards the search for a type 1 cure.
For many years, (decades for some), we have began each period with hopes for a cure that by the end have not quite come to fruition. It is this frustration that has caused some people to give up on the search, but at the JDCA we are committed to never giving up on our goal. We must keep pushing, we must keep trying, and above all we must keep working together. Only united can we achieve our mission.
