365: No Days off for T1D – Minnesota and Dakotas Chapter
On June 7th, we’re showing the world what it truly means to have no days off. When you live with T1D, it’s 24/7. Managing the disease involves an unrelenting cycle of blood sugar testing, insulin injections, and decisions. For all 365 days of the year, people living with T1D and their loved ones are focused on staying healthy while managing the constant burden of this disease. That’s why for five days straight from June 7-11, we’re taking the challenge to be active and truly take “no days off” to honor everyone living with T1D.

The awareness and money that we raise will help Breakthrough T1D fund critical research to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives so that one day, they can truly live without limits. Ready to join us? Register here!
