Fund A Cure with Elizabeth & James Elder | Breakthrough T1D Houston Gala 2026

About

Elizabeth and James Elder are the parents of three children: Annabelle, Blair, and Clark. Their parenthood wasn’t easy from the start with Annabelle and Blair diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called Leigh Syndrome, and taking Annabelle’s life at the age of eleven in October 2021. About a year later, their “healthy” son Clark was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in November 2022.

Elizabeth and James are honored to be the Fund a Cure Family this year and are so hopeful with the belief that a cure for T1D is around the corner, thanks to all Breakthrough T1D has done to advance research and treatment options. James recently joined the Breakthrough T1D Board and looks forward to getting more involved for such a promising and personal cause.

Please join us this evening with a meaningful charitable donation to save and improve the lives of those living courageously and caring for those with T1D, like Clark and his family.
