My Story…

On August 16th I am proud to be running the 54th Annual Falmouth Road Race as a part of Team Breakthrough T1D for my second year. My cousin Wes Ware was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 16 months old, but has never allowed that to dictate the joy with which he lives his life. Wes, now 3.5 years old and a great big brother to his sister Violet, brings so much happiness to everyone he meets.

I am very grateful for any and all contributions as I look forward to August 16th. Breakthrough T1D continues to make great strides in getting closer to finding a cure for T1D.  With your support and contribution we will take a step towards making that a reality. Thank you for your support!

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!
