Another disappointing report regarding donations to JDRF

Hey. OP here. Yes, the other forum is very like this because I believe they’re both run by JDRF. Here’s the link:

My reason for posting the JDCA report is that I am a 36-year type one diabetic and subsequently bombarded with JDRF’s promotional initiatives. All of the promotion makes it sound like JDRF’s primary mission is STILL to fund research to find a cure for type 1. I know people who donated when I took part in the walks believed their money was being used for research to find a cure.

This report highlights that people who donate money to JDRF fundraising events are largely misled about where their donations go. Since I have raised funds for JDRF and been their rep to my friends and family, I have unwittingly misled people who thought they were helping me, a type 1 diabetic who has had significant hardship with the disease. So it does seem like an appropriate topic for this forum.
