-- About the Juvineille Diabetes Research Foundation --

The Juvineille Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 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 diabtetes, nor does it prevent the eventual and devastating complications which may include kindey failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.

Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than $800 million to diabetes research, including more than $85 million in FY2004. More than 80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research-related education. In FY2004, the Foundation funded 500 centers, grants and fellowships in 19 countries.

This is very sad. I knew AJ from our years of playing against each other, and he was a great guy. He was always full of energy, and was the heart and soul of Framingham lacrosse.
