Help Alexander raise money

For participating in 2025 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

Join me in the fight to create a world without type 1 diabetes!

Thank you so much for considering donating to Breakthrough T1D!! Growing up with type 1 diabetes not only affects you as a child, but also your entire family. When I was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 10 years old, my family and I leaned on Breakthrough T1D to help us figure out how to live with this condition. This incredible organization connected us with doctors, medical suppliers, and helped me secure my first insulin pump. Donating to this organization ensures that children and families don't have to deal with these struggles alone and gives the tools for them to succeed in their health. Thank you for making a difference!

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!
