Meet the 2025 Children’s Congress Delegates from North Texas and Oklahoma!
Breakthrough T1D of North Texas and Oklahoma is excited to introduce our delegates for the 2025 Children’s Congress. Breakthrough T1D’s 13th Children’s Congress will take place from July 7 – 9, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
What is Children’s Congress?
Breakthrough T1D Children’s Congress has been essential to securing continued government funding of T1D research and to raise awareness of the daily burden of Americans living with this serious autoimmune disease. Every two years, more than 160 children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) between the ages of 4 – 17 gather in Washington, D.C., to meet face-to-face with some of the top decision-makers in the U.S. Government. The selected Delegates represent all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as Breakthrough T1D’s five International Affiliates.
As participants in Breakthrough T1D Children’s Congress, Delegates have a unique and empowering opportunity to help Members of Congress understand what life with T1D is like, while forming lasting bonds with fellow youth who live with this autoimmune disease. Delegates form lifelong friendships, meet T1D role models, develop leadership skills, and leave Children’s Congress empowered to use their voices for the change that will improve their lives and the lives of all people affected by T1D.
