Let's Breakthrough T1D!

I’d love to run for a family friend, Lucas, who is living with T1D and is my hero! Lucas is 15 years old, but has done so much for Breakthrough by starting a business to contribute to the cure and help those like him. 

Description

Welcome to my Breakthrough T1D Run fundraising page and thank you for helping me reach my fundraising goal!

As the leading global type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and advocacy organization, Breakthrough T1D helps make everyday life with T1D better while driving toward cures.

T1D is a lifelong condition where the body’s immune system attacks cells that produce insulin—a hormone essential to the ability to get energy from food. T1D can strike anyone at any time, changing their life forever.

And there’s no way to stop it…yet. That’s why I am fundraising for this community— to help create a world where T1D is a thing of the past. I am challenging myself to reach a lofty fundraising goal knowing it is nothing compared to the daily hurdles faced by those living with T1D. They’re in a non-stop battle, and we can give them hope.

Every dollar you give helps open the doors that were once closed by T1D diagnosis.

Thank you for your support!
