JDRF advocates are moms, dads, siblings, friends, kids and adults, like you. Together, our advocates make up one of the most powerful and passionate groups of volunteers in history - raising awareness and support for vital issues that will advance research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.

Through letter writing and powerful programs like the "Promise to Remember Me" campaign and our Children's Congress, we are educating Members of Congress about the seriousness of juvenile diabetes and the urgent need for research to find a cure.
