This document discusses type 1 diabetes and the need to find a cure. Over 23 million people in the US are affected by diabetes, with around 2,200 newly diagnosed every day. One in 400 children will be diagnosed with diabetes before age 20. Type 1 diabetes causes the pancreas to not produce insulin, leaving those with it dependent on daily insulin injections. The story of Alexis Nicole Conaway's strength during her hospitalization provides hope. Every donation towards research is important in the search for a cure, which is crucial.
