This year\u2019s National Volunteer Week theme is T1D Changemakers. Who exactly is a T1D Changemaker? Individuals who take action to accelerate life-changing\u00a0breakthroughs to cure, treat, and prevent T1D.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Breakthrough T1D was started by T1D Changemakers, and today we are fortunate to partner with incredible volunteers like you to accelerate life-changing T1D research. Your limitless passion and dedicated efforts are advancing our shared mission&#8211; you are a T1D Changemaker making a difference in the lives of those with T1D. Our volunteer partners are invaluable members of the T1D community who drive research progress, advocate for government action, and provide support to enrich the lives of families impacted by T1D. Together, we\u2019re moving towards a world without T1D\u2014none of this progress would be possible without our Greater NYC Chapter volunteer family.
