"Todd and Linda Broin's bold leadership gift of Ten Million Dollars follows both the landmark generosity of my friend T. Denny Sanford, and his inspiring commitment, through Sanford Health, to solve the diabetes disease puzzle. I salute the Broins, who are internationally respected as Biofuel development visionaries. They were quick to recognize and align themselves in support of the vision and power of Sanford Health's extraordinary diabetes project, announced just one month ago. The phenomena of this extraordinary example of "philanthropic giving begetting more giving" lends itself toward early discovery of novel diabetes cures and treatments. The Burnham Institute for Medical Research is very proud to be an active research partner in this challenging endeavor.” Malin Burnham “Sanford Health is a true visionary and leader in propelling health care to a new future - a future free of type 1 diabetes,” said Speaker Newt Gingrich, Founder of the Center for Health Transformation. “The wealth of knowledge and discoveries to be gained from this initiative will not only deepen our medical understanding, but impact the health and well-being of every child, person, family and community across America and the entire world. Through Sanford’s amazing world-class research team and partners, transformational change is taking place that will truly affect the way health and health care is delivered in the 21st century.” “JDRF welcomes Sanford Health as its very special partner in a shared mission: to accelerate the discovery, development and delivery of new life-changing therapies and cures for all who suffer and are at risk for type 1 diabetes and its complications. The Sanford Project has great potential to help us keep our promise of a cure, because it uniquely affords us (Sanford, JDRF, Burnham and other collaborators) the opportunity to link -- in an accountable, patient benefit results-driven, ‘cure enterprise’ -- the critical path resources required to bridge all the gaps in translating scientific advances made at the laboratory bench into new drug and device development breakthroughs, and ultimately, to right patient, right time, every time use at every point of care for the benefit of all people affected by type 1 diabetes.” S. Robert Levine, MD “Organizations are defined by their mission and it is vision and leadership that accomplishes missions. Today with the Sanford Project- you have made a bold statement to the world- you have made a commitment to curing a disease. Very few institutions have ever made commitments of this nature. I commend all of you for thinking big, for having the vision, for harnessing the resources, and for committing to leadership to deliver on the task at hand. JDRF is honored to partner with Sanford Health in this commitment and is committed to your success as the Sanford Project is launched “ Richard Insel, M.D. “Beta cell regeneration has quickly become one of the more promising cure therapeutic areas, even though this field barely existed five years ago. JDRF's Regeneration of Beta Cell Function program has made significant strides in the last few years, and a focused and significant investment by Sanford could exponentially accelerate the pace of discovery. Coupled with Sanford Health’s ability to translate discovery through the their clinical and translational network, this is an opportunity to translate hope into reality…research into cures. The Sanford Project has set a huge goal. We truly believe that a cure for juvenile diabetes will be found.” James C. Tyree |
