On Sunday, June 1, 2014, more than 3,500 walkers representing local businesses, families, schools, Unions and other organizations gathered on the National Mall in Washington D.C. to participate in the JDRF Greater Chesapeake and Potomac Chapter’s annual JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes. The NPMHU Team made an impressive contribution towards this year’s fundraising goal. The NPMHU would like to thank all those that did make a donation to our team and this year’s JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes.
The good news— it is not too late to make a donation to help the NPMHU hit our team goal. You can donate via the JDRF team link at www.npmhu.org or you may mail a check, made payable to JDRF to the NPMHU Team Captain, Martha Ring at our headquarters office. JDRF donations are tax deductible.
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that impacts millions of people around the world. The disease occurs when the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, a hormone essential to turning food into energy. With T1D there are no days off, and there is no cure. Support the JDRF Walk, and together, we will create a world without T1D. Please consider supporting this important research.
