My Story…

I am proud to announce that I’ll be running the Falmouth Road Race this year in support of Breakthrough T1D…and more importantly, for my twin sister, Emma.


Emma was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 19 years old. It was a life-altering moment. She had just begun her college journey after navigating the uncertainty of a global pandemic, only to be faced with the daily challenges of a chronic autoimmune disease that she’ll carry for the rest of her life. Watching her adjust, persevere, and grow stronger through it all has been nothing short of inspiring.


Running this race is my way of standing beside her as well supporting the millions of others affected by Type 1 diabetes. This isn’t just a run for me. It’s a run for awareness, for progress, and for hope. It’s a run for the breakthrough we all believe is possible: a cure.


Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to that goal. Your support means the world—to me, to Emma, to our family, and to everyone fighting this disease every single day.


Thank you for being part of this journey.

Julia 💙

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!
