"It was 1983 when my wife, Mary, finally succumbed to her lifelong struggle with type 1 diabetes. Before she passed, I promised her that I would find a cure for this terrible disease within my lifetime. Since then, we've made some incredible progress.

I ask you to support our aggressive cure research by making a donation to The Iacocca Foundation today."
