JDRF welcome tent

Everyone is invited to come by the JDRF tent on Walk Day to learn more about JDRF and how we are working to create a world without type 1 diabetes. We especially want to meet all our incredible type 1 participants who will receive a Superhero cape to wear, so everyone can celebrate the type 1 heroes we are walking for.

They remain the responsibility of the owner and must be kept on the lead at all times.
