Melbourne, Florida ,March 29, 2010 – For the 13th year in a row, Hoyman Dobson CPAs supports Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s (JDRF) fundraising efforts.

In anticipation of this year’s JDRF 5K walk, we raised $1,559. Everyone on our team donated money to this great cause,” proudly continues Mr. Hoyman.
Vera Hall, Judy Durette, Carina Peoples, Aliona Groh and Barbara Walters are Hoyman Dobson team members who actively raised funds for JDRF this year and participated in JDRF’s 5K walk. The 5K walk took place on March 26, 2010 at Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach, FL.

About Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF): JDRF was founded in 1970 by the parents of children with type 1 diabetes. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International is the leader in setting the agenda for Type 1 diabetes research worldwide, and is the world’s largest charitable funder and advocate of Type 1 diabetes research. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. More than 80 percent of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education. JDRF directed nearly $101 million to such research in FY2009, bringing its total research funding to more than $1.4 billion since its founding in 1970. Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes children and adults suddenly, but lasts a lifetime. It requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin through a pump. Insulin, however, is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, amputation, and pregnancy complications.
