R&B Singer: Luther Vandross

In life, Luther Vandross gave millions of people joy with his songs. In death, he is helping JDRF accelerate research for a cure for the millions of people worldwide with type 1 diabetes.

JDRF recently  received a generous gift from Vandross’ estate. The Grammy-winning R&B icon, who died in 2005 at the age of 54, had a family history of diabetes, and he also suffered from the devastating disease.
