What is a Breakthrough T1D Walk?

The Breakthrough T1D Walk is a major global event aimed at advancing research, advocacy, and support for the T1D community. Whether you’re personally affected by type 1 diabetes or supporting loved ones, participating in these walks helps propel research toward life-changing breakthroughs and brings us closer to finding a cure. Each event creates a space for community engagement, raising awareness, and sharing stories. They are family-friendly, featuring scenic routes, activities, and a chance to connect with like-minded individuals.

Why Walk?

By participating in these walks, you’re not just raising awareness; you’re also contributing to vital research and support services for those living with T1D. Every step taken helps us edge closer to a world without type 1 diabetes. We encourage you to invite friends, family, and colleagues to join us in this impactful journey.
