130,000 sufferers of Type 1 Diabetes went into last year's federal election knowing it didn't matter who won - both sides had already committed funding for a life-saving piece of technology. It was a masterclass in advocacy by JDRF Australia, working to improve the lives of people with T1D.

Now JDRF wants to find a cure - and they need your help. Mike Wilson OAM, the Chief Executive of JDRF Australia, talks to Michael Thompson about what it'll take to find (and fund) a cure.

June 1 is the JDRF Australia Giving Day. Every donation is matched dollar for dollar - find out more here.
