JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes

Edgar Snyder & Associates is a proud supporter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes. Our law firm has a team of walkers that participates in the annual fundraising event. Employees are also encouraged to purchase paper "sneakers," symbolic of walking, to show their support for the fundraising walk and the JDRF.

JDRF is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 (juvenile) diabetes research worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes children suddenly and requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin through a pump. Insulin, however, is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
