Animal Crossing: New Horizons Island Raises Diabetes Awareness With JDRF
Animal Crossing: New Horizons and JDRF are teaming up to raise awareness for Type 1 diabetes. The organization JDRF funds research and advocates for those with Type 1 diabetes and has created an island in New Horizons that reflects the experiences of those living with the condition.
