Dear Friends of JDRF,
Two years ago, a virus changed our life forever. Our oldest son, Alex, was hospitalized with Influenza A in February and by March was diagnosed with a rare combination of three autoimmune diseases, including Type 1 Diabetes. Every day we would pray “Help us, guide us, protect us”. As we learned about each disease, we discovered JDRF. Their research towards finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, as well as learning how different autoimmune diseases affect T1D, gives us hope. Hope for an easier life for our son and the millions of others with this life-long, life-threatening disease. If you have contributed to JDRF’s Fund a Cure campaign in the past, thank you. Without knowing us, you have helped us.
Now, more than ever before, JDRF needs our support as they adapt to the changing landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic. The need has never been greater, as the rate of T1D diagnoses continues to increase so does the urgency for critical research to get us closer to a cure. Every dollar raised in the Fund a Cure campaign is 100% tax-deductible and goes directly towards this mission.
During this time, we are all more aware of how, as a community, we need to support one another, to keep each other safe. And as a community, we hope we can come together to support this mission. Please consider helping us Fund a Cure.
Sincerely,
Jay and Ronna Kennedy
