12 days and counting until the 35th Annual Breakthrough T1D One Walk in Atlanta. We’ve made great strides towards achieving our goal of $1.4 million, but we still need your help.

Each year, the Breakthrough T1D One Walk in Atlanta brings together more than 9,000 people across the state of Georgia to change the future for people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This fun, family–friendly event gives people with T1D—and their network —the opportunity to raise money for life-changing T1D research. They walk to help Breakthrough T1D ease the incredible burden of this disease for the millions affected, until we create a world without T1D. Register for Breakthrough T1D One Walk today and help us turn Type One into Type None.

Breakthrough T1D is excited to share that for the first time we have a family serving as Event Chairs for the One Walk. Special thanks to David, Julie, Amanda & Mitchell Abes for taking on this special role. The Abes Family has been participating in the Breakthrough T1D One Walk since their son, Mitchell, was diagnosed at 18 months old. The 2016 Breakthrough T1D One Walk marks their 15th year walking! This year, Mitchell is serving as our chair of the Breakthrough T1D One Walk Ambassadors. The Abes Family approaches fundraising as a team effort; friends, neighbors and family, make up their team on walk day. To learn more about their family, view the video below.
