Thank you Dr.! I too believe that the JDF is not spending its money wisely -- sooo much is waisted and I do not contribute to them because of this. I am going to contribute directly to those who need the money the most and are closest to a cure.
I have also posted a message on my companies IntraNet to educate the diabetics in my company and solicit their funds to go directly to TIF or others mentioned like Encelle. So far I have only had one response but the message will remain out there. I provided this one person with facts printed from the TIF website as well as selected articles from this forum. The responder was very grateful for the information and was going to pursue getting signatures on the petition I provided her as well.
The inter/intranets are a wonderful place for reaching the public.
