JDRF, the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research, is honoured to appoint internationally renowned cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason as a global ambassador. The 19 year-old British cellist captured the world's attention during his performance at the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
"We are thrilled that Sheku has joined us as our international ambassador," said Karen Addington, JDRF UK Chief Executive. "We look forward to collaborating with him to raise awareness of type 1 diabetes - which is much misunderstood - and of our mission to find the cure."
Sheku was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 12, five years before he won BBC Young Musician 2016 and made his mark as one of the brightest young stars in classical music.
