Walk or Run with the T1D community this August to fuel the fight for a T1D cure! Each mile and dollar raised will help raise awareness and ensure a cure remains job #1. 

We invite you to participate in the T1D Cure 62 Mile Walk/Run Challenge alongside us on Facebook, where you can create your cure advocacy fundraiser and join the private event group. In this private group, you can share your progress and commiserate with others fighting with you! All the information and links are provided below. Let's close out the summer with a bang!

A big 'Thank You' to T1D mom Aubrie from the popular TikTok account @typeonederfulwells for her support of the challenge! Check out her video below!

 

@typeonederfulwells Type 1 Diabetes doesn’t take a day off, and neither does the hope for a cure. 💙 That’s why we’re excited to partner with @The JDCA for the 62-Mile Challenge this August! From August 1–31, participants will walk or run 62 miles all while supporting the fight for a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. JDCA’s mission is to advocate, inform, and ensure more resources are directed toward cure research. Finding a cure is their primary focus, and the funds raised through this challenge help keep a cure the number one priority in the Type 1 Diabetes research ecosystem. ✨ Registration is officially open! If you’d like to participate, simply click the link in my bio to visit the challenge page, then click “Join the Challenge” to register. Whether you’re living with T1D, love someone who is, or simply want to support the cause, we’d love to have you take part. Every mile brings us one step closer to the future we’re all hoping for. 💙 #ad #JDCA #T1D #Type1Diabetes #CureT1D ♬ original sound - typeonederfulwells
