My Story…

I’ve lived with Type 1 Diabetes for 16 years, ever since I was diagnosed in April of 2009, shortly after my 8th birthday. 

When I was younger, I started a walk team called Kitty’s Kool Kats to fundraise for JDRF. Over the years, I’ve been proud to raise awareness and support this amazing organization. Now, JDRF has evolved into Breakthrough T1D, and I’m so excited to continue my efforts as a young adult.

This year, I’ll be running the Falmouth Road Race as part of the Breakthrough T1D team to raise funds for life-changing research.

The work Breakthrough T1D does is vital. Their efforts have already helped improve the lives of so many people with T1D, and their focus on finding a cure is something I’m incredibly passionate about. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for considering a donation. Your support means a lot to me and to everyone who will benefit from this research. I truly appreciate you being part of this journey with me!

Description

Welcome to my personal Breakthrough T1D fundraising page!

I have joined 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.

The challenge I have set for myself — to raise money for Breakthrough T1D and to race — is modest compared to the daily challenges of life with T1D, which involves a 24/7, unrelenting cycle of blood sugar testing and insulin injections to manage the disease.

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!
