Funds raised at the Ride to Cure Diabetes will make a serious impact on JDRF's research to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes (T1D). JDRF is currently supporting up to 40 Australian T1D research projects, with dozens more that we would like to support. Learn more about the current research projects.

The Ride is one of JDRF's core fundraising events.
It has now been more than 40 years since a determined group of parents vowed to do whatever it takes to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. The tireless efforts of donors, supporters and volunteers over the years have seen over $US1.6 billion invested globally in diabetes research since 1970.
Australia is a leader in type 1 diabetes research, and JDRF supported 62 research projects in Australia alone in FY2011. This investment has already significantly improved the lives of people with type 1 diabetes.
JDRF research has lead to the development of insulin pumps, new types of synthetic insulin, and has reduced the impact of diabetes complications such as blindness, kidney disease and heart disease. JDRF is also at the forefront of the research into the artificial pancreas. With your help we will continue to fund world-leading research.
Every dollar raised by the Ride to Cure Diabetes brings us all closer to a cure.
