Countless devoted Family and Corporate Teams, Walkers, donors, and volunteers contribute to the enormous success of the more than 225 JDRF Walks held worldwide each year. Walkers whose lives have been touched by type 1 diabetes (T1D) come together and build a sense of community and purpose. The Walk to Cure Diabetes is a family-friendly event and features plenty of entertainment, food, and fun! Funds are raised through Corporate Partnerships, the sale of JDRF paper sneakers in retail outlets, and by individual and team Walkers obtaining donations from family, friends, co-workers and neighbors.
