Jim Bethea is raising money for 2013 ONE Party Benefiting Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation

Fundraising Amount=$1,850.00 ; Goal=$100,000.00
Donate Now

As you may know, my twelve year old son Tom was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes last January, which was both a shock to him, and to our family. I am extremely proud of the way Tom has handled this disease with dignity, courage, and a tenacity to view it as an opportunity to overcome a lifelong obstacle rather than a disadvantage over other children his age. It is in this same spirit I enthusiastically accept the honor of being selected as a member of the 2013 ONE Group to benefit JDRF! From the smallest donation to largest donation, every dollar counts, and participation is key reaching my goal. Please consider taking a moment to give what you can to help find a cure for juvenile diabetes.


ABOUT JDRF

JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. JDRF’s goal is to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until we achieve a world without T1D. JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners and is the only organization with the scientific resources, regulatory influence, and a working plan to better treat, prevent, and eventually cure T1D.

As the largest charitable supporter of T1D research, JDRF is currently sponsoring $530 million in scientific research in 17 countries. In 2012 alone, JDRF provided more than $110 million to T1D research. More than 80 percent of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education. In 2012 Forbes magazine named JDRF one of its five All-Star charities, citing the organization’s efficiency and effectiveness.
