TODAY - Breakthrough T1D Walk Las Vegas Challenge
If you've been waiting to register or start your fundraising for the Breakthrough T1D Walk in Las Vegas, today is the day!
Tuesday, October 8th beginning at 9 am PDT, generous local sponsor, 24/7 Xpress, has challenged the Las Vegas Breakthrough T1D Walk to raise $10,000 to match their gift and help move our mission forward.
That means for every dollar you raise through your Breakthrough T1D Walk, Las Vegas 2024 fundraising efforts during this challenge, your donation will stretch twice as far for lifesaving T1D research advocacy, and advancements. Your support is critical to our mission, and with this challenge, we can accelerate our pace toward cures.
Additionally, the Las Vegas walk team with the most unique individual donors within 24 hours after the challenge begins (October 8th at 9 a.m. until October 9th at 9 a.m.), will automatically receive a team tent at the Breakthrough T1D Walk on Saturday, November 16th.
Be sure to use the Breakthrough T1D Walk App (click to download the instructions) to connect with supporters on Snapchat, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, text messages, and email. Together, we can make everyday life better for the T1D community.
*During Tuesday's challenge, online donations made to a participant will be reflected on personal fundraising pages. However the full $10,000 challenge donation has been made directly to the Breakthrough T1D™ Las Vegas Walk and will not be reflected in personal fundraising totals.
Take action for the entire T1D community
As the leading global type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and advocacy organization, Breakthrough T1D has played a crucial role in nearly every major T1D breakthrough in history.
No organization does more to improve everyday life with T1D—from therapy development and access, to expanding research, advocacy, and community support. Breakthrough T1D Walk is the world’s largest fundraising and community-building event for the T1D community. By joining Breakthrough T1D Walk, you will help us create a movement to improve and change life with type 1 diabetes, advancing life-changing breakthroughs on the way to cures.
T1D is an autoimmune disease that is diagnosed in both children and adults and has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. Managing T1D requires constant attention and action—including overnight. Even with a strict regimen, people with T1D can still experience dangerously high or low blood sugar that can lead to complications and, in extreme cases, be life-threatening.
Your contribution to the Breakthrough T1D Walk, Las Vegas 2024 charts a path to cure, prevent, and better treat type 1 diabetes and its complications—and ensure access to treatments globally.
Register today for the Breakthrough T1D Walk, Las Vegas 2024 and join us in taking action for the entire T1D community.
