Breakthrough T1D

As the leading global type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization, Breakthrough T1D, formerly known as JDRF, helps make everyday life with type 1 diabetes better while driving toward cures. We do this by investing in the most promising research, advocating for progress by working with the government to address issues that impact the T1D community, and helping educate and empower individuals facing this condition.

Breakthrough T1D is proud to be an official charity partner of the Cleveland Marathon. We invite you to join Team T1D as we go the distance to create a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D)!   

Breakthrough T1D is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.  Our strength lies in our exclusive focus and singular influence on the worldwide effort to end T1D. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes both children and adults suddenly. It has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. There is nothing you can do to prevent it. And, at present, there is no cure.

We invite you to join our Breakthrough T1D Run team.  

When you join the Breakthrough T1D Run team, you will receive:

• Fundraising support
• Discounted registration fee
• Incentives based on the money you fundraise:
