I'm taking part in the JDRF Ride because I'm up for a physical and mental challenge that I know will be the experience of a lifetime. And, the money I raise will change the lives of millions of people who struggle with the burden of type 1 diabetes (T1D) every day.

During National Volunteer Week, we recognize our 2023 volunteer award recipients. These individuals are moving JDRF’s mission and vision forward through their relentless dedication and passion. Today, we are proud to honor Michael Salvo for his incredible contributions to our chapter and the T1D Community!

Michael leads by example, actively serving as The Central PA Board President, a strategic thought partner on the Chapter Executive Council, and is the leader for our Ride Program at the chapter. He attends every single community outreach event and was front and center at our first in-person walk since 2019. Just within this past year, he has organized a Family fun ride for the T1D Community, spoke to civic clubs, opened doors to corporate partners, organized volunteers, and helped steward our biggest supporters. He gives personally to Fund a Cure, secures sponsorship from his company and other corporate partners, and asks others in our community to support JDRF in meaningful ways.

“I volunteer at JDRF because our son, Christopher, who lives with T1D. I remember so vividly the details of that day we received a phone call from his pediatrician informing us Christopher has type one diabetes and “the emergency room is expecting him, now!”. Fear, anxiety, tears, and faith set in. Our family worked to understand everything about this disease ensuring Christopher had the support he needed to live his best possible life. Over the years, we have found that JDRF is the one organization we trust the most in the fight to end T1D. We volunteer to make a difference for Christopher and all families struggling through this diagnosis and to ultimately find cures.”

Michael, you have left an indelible mark on our chapter and local community. Thank you for selflessly giving of your time and talent to advance our shared mission!
