Putting an End to T1D, One Step at a Time

We are local high school students working to create a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D) for the millions of children and adults living with this disease. 

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults--and has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. With T1D, a person's pancreas stops producing insulin--a hormone essential to turning food into energy. The daily life of someone with T1D brings a multitude of challenges, including insulin injections that need to be carefully balanced with eating and activity, disruptive glucose monitoring, sleepless nights--and wishing for a tomorrow where this struggle doesn't exist. 

Living with T1D means there are no days off and there is no cure. But there is hope. 

By donating to one of our team members today, you'll help JDRF fund life-changing breakthroughs to make living with T1D safer and healthier, until there is a cure.
