My Story…

Well, surprise surprise, I am not running the Falmouth Road Race this year... APRIL FOOLS! 

August 17, 2025 will be my third annual Falmouth Road Race, running 7 miles along the Falmouth shoreline to fundraise for Breakthrough T1D. I've been on Earth for 34 years, and 32 years of those have been plagued by Type 1 Diabetes. I know that the only reason I am still here is because of the love and support from my family and friends. 

Whether we share DNA, or we met as friends in high school, college, or on island, I wouldn't be here without you. 

I ask you to please consider making a donation in my honor to support the Breakthrough T1D organization that is stepping closer and closer to a cure everyday. My dream is to reach 40 years old, and a cure will be found. Your donation can help to make that happen!

Thank you all so much, all my love.

Xoxo,

Brae

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!
