2016 is finally here and that means it’s time to make good on New Year’s resolutions! For many, health is a major focus and at Breakthrough T1D we can certainly relate, because the health of those living with T1D is always top of mind. So, what if we told you there was a way to help us achieve our mission AND achieve your personal health goals at the same time? See below for two exciting challenges to take on in 2016:

• The AT/T1 Challenge: Lace up your hiking boots for Breakthrough T1D Georgia’s newest event. Taking place April 22-24, 2016 at Amicalola State Park, the AT/T1 Challenge is a weekend of passion, determination and triumph. Participants have the option of completing a 10 or 18 mile hike at the start of one of North America’s most iconic trails. For more information on the event and fundraising packages, visit ATT1Challenge.com or call Breakthrough T1D at 404-420-5990.

• Breakthrough T1D Ride to Cure Diabetes: Our Georgia Ride Committee invites you to join them at one of 7 locations for this year’s Ride season. We are especially excited to announce a BRAND NEW ride in Amelia Island, FL on October 27 – 30, 2016! This ride is mostly flat and is perfect for first timers! Registration opens on Wednesday, January 20 at noon on ride.jdrf.org. Also, the Ride Committee is hosting a Kickoff Party on Wednesday, January 27 at 5 Seasons – The Prado location. The event will be at 6:30 pm and is a great way to learn more about ride. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP here by Friday, January 22.
