On December 1, 2018, local T1D Dad and avid hiker Gene Popson helped us launch a new community meet-up opportunity that we are calling, “Hit the Trails”. For the initial hike, our families met at the Lewis Morris County Park and enjoyed a crisp day exploring the trails.

For 2019, Gene has already lined up a series of hikes and we invite you to join him on the trail. The hikes are open to adults and families who are living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and will take you on a variety of trails from the woods of Morris County to sandy trails along the beaches of the shore.

All hikes are family/beginner rated and will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.  We ask that you sign up for the hikes so any last minute changes can be communicated directly with the participants.  The hikes will be listed on our calendar of events and on our Facebook page with a link to register.

Please remember to dress in layers according to the weather, wear appropriate footwear and have a small pack with the essentials (like sun block, bug spray, water, snacks and fast acting carbs).

The first hike of 2019 will be on March 30 at Lewis Morris Park. You can sign-up here!
