We are so proud of our wonderful volunteers that are always there for us. We cannot do the work that we do without the support of our hardworking volunteers. Here are a few from our chapter that we want to thank:

 

Anne Kennon – Dallas

Anne is a dedicated volunteer, coming into the office to help each and every week. Her grandson Adam lives with T1D and she supports Breakthrough T1D in honor of him. Anne is also a member of the chapter’s One Society and attends all of the chapter events.

 

Andrew and Lindsay Carrier – Fort Worth

The Carriers are dedicated supporters of Breakthrough T1D as their daughter, McKinley, lives bravely with T1D.  The Carriers are the leaders of their community’s One Walk Team (Team Argyle), Andrew fundraises with Team Breakthrough T1D and represents Breakthrough T1D in the NY City Marathon, and Lindsay is the author of “Giving Life My Best Shot”- a book for children living with T1D where all proceeds benefit Breakthrough T1D.  Thank you, Andrew and Lindsay!
