Join me in the fight to create a world without type 1 diabetes!
In 2015, I ran my 12th full marathon and swore it was the end. But, I want to do it again in my new age group which will be 65-70. I’ll be 65 in Sept. 2024 and I will mostly be walking this one. I need major motivation and raising $$ for Breakthrough T1D is the answer! This is extremely important to me since my daughter, Alex has Type 1 diabetes. Since she was diagnosed at age 16, there have been significant advances but a cure is still needed. I would love to see it in my lifetime for her and all other T1D individuals. Any donation will be VERY appreciated! Photo of me from 2015! I will get across that finish line again!
Description
Welcome to my personal Team Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) fundraising page!
I have joined Team Breakthrough T1D to raise funds for the millions of people living with and affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). The money I raise will help Breakthrough T1D fund critical research to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people's lives until no one has to fear developing the disease.
Type 1 diabetes is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to the ability to get energy from food. It strikes both children and adults suddenly and changes life as they know it forever. It cannot be prevented and there is no cure.
Breakthrough T1D is the largest nongovernmental funder of T1D research and the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. This science is complex and costly, and every dollar Breakthrough T1D is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you.
Please support me and donate to my fundraising campaign. Your gift will make a difference for millions of people affected by this devastating, life-threatening disease. Won't you please give to Breakthrough T1D as generously as possible today?
Thank you for your support!
