Breakfast with Rufus: Boise, ID

About

Join us for Breakthrough T1D’s Breakfast with Rufus: Boise, ID on April 25th at Boise State University from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm MST! All who are impacted by T1D are welcome to join at no cost. Please see event details and secure your spot by RSVP-ing here!

Breakfast with Rufus brings families impacted by T1D together for an opportunity to connect, learn, and have fun together. During the event, you’ll:

• Connect with other local T1D families
• Hear from guest speakers
• Receive helpful T1D resources
• Enjoy a light breakfast
• Crafts and activities will be available for the kiddos!

We’re proud to partner with Diabetes Alliance of Idaho and Camp Hodia, who you’ll have a chance to visit with during the event. Additionally, Benaroya Research Institute (BRI) will be on-site and bringing TrialNet risk screening (and re-screening!) to local families.

About Screening:

Relatives of people with T1D have a 15 times greater risk for developing the disease than people with no family history, but TrialNet offers a free blood test that can detect T1D in its earliest stages, years before symptoms appear. Anyone found to be at high-risk can be monitored by TrialNet clinicians and may be eligible for a prevention study.

People interested in screening can contact diabetes@benaroyaresearch.org to complete screening paperwork ahead of time. Walk-ins are also welcome.
