ONE Voice. ONE
Cause. ONE Fight.
The ONE Group is a program designed to honor
Atlanta's outstanding professionals and provide them with educational
and networking opportunities. The ONE Group is
a unique vision born out of a desire to increase awareness of cutting-edge
research supported by JDRF among the local business community. Top
professionals are identified through application or by nomination from their
peers or businesses. A maximum of 30 professionals are chosen in a given
year.
We're the stop at nothing type
JDRF
exists for the millions of children, adults, and families affected by type 1
diabetes (T1D) every single day. Their determination to overcome this disease
strengthens ours to end it by funding life-changing T1D research.
T1D
is an autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas loses the ability to
produce insulin — a hormone essential to turning food into energy. It strikes
both children and adults suddenly and is unrelated to diet and lifestyle. It
requires constant carbohydrate counting, blood-glucose testing, and lifelong
dependence on injected insulin.
Your
participation in JDRF events ensures that JDRF can continue funding critical
T1D research. With your support, this research will continue to bring us closer
to a world without T1D.
