Fund A Cure with Millie Reiter | Breakthrough T1D Northern CA Tee to Table 2026

About Millie Reiter

When Millie Reiter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) at age 15 in 2022, she spent most of her third week of freshman year in the hospital. After learning how to manage the autoimmune disease, she convinced her doctors to let her go home in time for the first football game of the season, where she joined her varsity cheer team on the field. Now thriving as a high school senior, Millie serves in student government as her school’s first-ever female athletic commissioner, she frequently advocates for student well-being, and she is a member of the Superintendent’s Student Planning Committee.

Soon after her diagnosis, Millie’s family connected with Breakthrough T1D, the leading global organization advancing T1D research and advocacy. They are active in the organization’s Walk program and social events, and Millie serves as a Youth Ambassador, helping to raise awareness and funds for T1D research.

Millie will take the stage as the Fund A Cure speaker at the upcoming Breakthrough T1D Tee to Table event at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, on May 8, 2026.
