About

Bring your Rufus Bear (or favorite stuffed animal) for a morning of T1D Research Activities at 4Roots Farm in Orlando!

You’re invited to Research with Rufus!

Join us in a research activity for Rufus presented by AdventHealth, meet life-sized Rufus the Bear with Diabetes, an educational session for parents/caregivers, and giveaways for everyone!

Please bring your Rufus Bear to the event! If your T1D child does NOT have a Rufus be sure to indicate that on the registration form so we can try to get one for them in time for the event. For any child/sibling attending the event that does not live with T1D they can bring a stuffed animal with them to participate in the event. We will have Breakthrough T1D t-shirts for any stuffed animals that want one!

While children of any age are welcome, the program will be most appropriate for children under 13.
