Fund A cure with the Horton Family | Breakthrough T1D Nashville Gala 2026

About

Our son, Trevor, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at just nine years old. With no family history and no roadmap, our family had to quickly learn how to navigate the daily challenges and constant vigilance this disease demands.

From the very beginning, Trevor refused to let T1D define or limit him. He made it his mission to keep pushing forward, no matter the obstacles—while also becoming a passionate ambassador for the T1D community. What started with a newly diagnosed third grader has grown into the story of a college football player and now a collegiate coach, using his platform to raise awareness and drive research forward.

Thanks to generous supporters, the dollars raised have fueled breakthroughs in treatments Trevor relies on every single day. But while progress has been made, there is still more work to do. Our vision is bold but simple: to turn Type 1 into Type NONE.
