August 18 – 22, 2025
Join us for Breakthrough Week, a week-long celebration of action, community, and impact for our Breakthrough T1D Walks this fall. Each day brings a new fundraising challenge, a new way to ensure success, and a new opportunity to inspire hope in the T1D community. Whether you’re walking for a loved one, yourself, or breakthroughs, your participation matters. Take part in one or all of these daily challenges and be entered to win exciting prizes. Complete all five challenges and be entered to win our grand prize, Red Sox tickets for four during our Pack the Park night on Tuesday, September 2!
