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.
