We are walking the Breakthrough T1D Walk (Formerly JDRF One Walk) to raise money for Breakthrough T1D, on November 10th.  In Honor of our daughter,HayLi, who was diagnosed at age 5. She is now 17 and a junior in High School. Over the years she has had a few obstacles but has always come out on top at the end! She has never let her T1D stand in her way of any of her goals! A Honor Roll Student, a Varsity and Competition Cheerleader, and a part time worker at Ash & T’s Formals. She is such a role model to young kids in her community and the true definition of a strong T1D Warrior! Type 1 diabetes (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.

Breakthrough T1D, the leading global T1D research and advocacy organization, 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.

Your contribution to Breakthrough T1D Walk charts a path to cure, prevent, and better treat type 1 diabetes and its complications—and ensure access to treatments globally.
