'Find a cure for diabetes' virtual gift

Find a cure for type 1 diabetes £50

Buy the ‘Find a cure for type 1 diabetes’ gift for a friend or loved one and help to support JDRF's work to find a cure for type 1 diabetes.

How does it work?

Select and order your gift. We will send you a ‘Find a cure for type 1 diabetes’ pack containing a card with a brief description of the gift and an envelope. You can then personalise and send your gift to your friend or loved one.

What your virtual gift will fund

A cure for type 1 diabetes must do two things: stop the immune system destroying the cells that make insulin, and replace the cells that have been lost. Your gift is helping to do both and will, one day, give people with type 1 diabetes the ability to make their own insulin again.
