If this is truly promising, I expect they'll have to beat a path through all the aspiring donors to get to work each day. The problem with biomedical research as I see it is not a lack of donations, it's that the typical case is that the results people are desperately seeking simply can't be bought for any amount of funding. If this succeeds in curing diabetes, it will be on par with the greatest achievements in medical history (what disease was the Salk vaccine for again? Polio?). Every foundation on earth will want a piece. There are many causes worth donating to. I'd recommend taking a sober look at charitable options and give to one that's relatively underfunded.
