Breakthrough T1D 2017 Children’s Congress, our tenth event held for children aged 4-17 living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), will take place in Washington, DC from July 24 – 26, 2017.  Why should you apply for Breakthrough T1D Children’s Congress 2017? In addition to explaining what it is like living with T1D during meetings with Members of Congress and their staff to help them understand why research for better treatments and a cure for T1D is so important, you’ll meet other kids with T1D from all across the country!

Help us create a world without type 1 diabetes by speaking up and sharing your personal story in Washington, D.C.!
