Each May the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) celebrates Jelly Baby Month with cute Jelly Baby themed merchandise appearing in stores, schools, shopping centres and workplaces across Australia.
Jelly Baby Month is an easy and fun way to get involved in helping to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications. Last year Jelly Baby Month raised over $858,000 for diabetes research. This year Jelly Baby Month is celebrating its 10th birthday and, with your help, were hoping to mark the occasion by raising over $1million!

JDRF is the worlds leading nonprofit, non-governmental contributor to diabetes research. Its mission is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of medical research.
JDRF structures its research on a business-world model to ensure that resources are spent most effectively to accelerate progress toward finding a cure. It is the only major diabetes organisation focused exclusively on research.
Only Research will find a Cure.
Insulin is not a cure for diabetes nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating effects: kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, amputation, heart attack, and stroke.
Researchers are closing in on finding a cure for juvenile diabetes, and progress here could help scientists find a cure for other autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
JDRFs research is driven by three broad goals: restoring normal blood glucose, preventing and reversing diabetes-related complications, and preventing diabetes and its recurrence.
Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with type 1 diabetes, JDRF has awarded more than US$1 billion to diabetes research around the world, including more than US$122 million in FY2006. In FY2006, JDRF funded 500 centers, grants, and fellowships in 20 countries.
Since the year 2000, JDRF has funded around A$97 million of diabetes research within Australia, with funding of around A$15 million in FY2006.
