November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and people all over the world are teaming up to spread awareness about diabetes. Staying on top of type 1 diabetes takes the diligence, discipline, and resilience of a champion athlete. Those living with and supporting others with this disease are true champions, all day and every day, and we want to celebrate them by telling their stories through this virtual campaign. 

 

The campaign is an opportunity for us to highlight those in our Illinois community who are affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). During November, the Breakthrough T1D Illinois Chapter will feature T1D storytellers and advocates throughout the month on our social media channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook). These individuals will spearhead fundraising for Breakthrough T1D during the most crucial month of the year and every dollar raised will go to our mission to improve lives today and tomorrow by accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat T1D and its complications.

 

Together, all our champions are committed to raising awareness and dispelling myths and stereotypes of people who live with T1D all while raising funds to turn type one into type none!
