PUTTING AN END TO T1D, ONE STEP AT A TIME

Our team is walking to end type 1 diabetes (T1D).

When you have T1D, your body stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. Managing the disease is a constant struggle that involves monitoring your blood-sugar level, administering insulin, and carefully balancing these insulin doses with your eating and activity just to stay alive.

With T1D there are no days off and there is no cure. But there is hope.

So, will you join us and help make a cure a reality? Your fundraising or donation not only changes lives for people with T1D but will change your own life too. The inspiration and fun you experience on walk day will stick with you, and the pride you can take for your role will last a lifetime.

Thank you for your support.

From Hannah Straub: "I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when I was 13 year olds and it was a huge change with having to watch what I eat and take new medicine. Having to adjust to a change that drastic, I knew I needed to stay active with sports. Coming into college not knowing what rowing was, I quickly learned and fell in love with the sport! Rowing has been very helpful with keeping my diabetes under control while also giving me a great support system with my coaches and teammates!

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is an organization that raises money for Type 1 Diabetes research. It is an organization that is near and dear to my heart because it provides opportunities for more research and hopefully a cure for this autoimmune disease one day!"
