We were excited to launch our 1st Annual Dog Walk Challenge this past June! This event pushed members of our community to walk 30 miles with their furry friend during the month, while raising money to support T1D cure advocacy. Be on the lookout for future communications about the 2nd annual edition, which should launch next May. We hope to see you and the rest of the T1D community take on this challenge to make a difference!

"Just wanted to post and say that my dog Stoli and I are excited to do this challenge! I was diagnosed with T1D 14 years ago when I was 11, it’s been challenging, but I am glad that I have the knowledge. My youngest sister was diagnosed with T1D about 3 years ago when she was 7, so I happy to be her role model for this journey! Here’s to finding a cure!"
