ALL OF US: Life Before T1D
It’s hard to remember the days when type 1 diabetes (T1D) was not a part of Kate and Ryan’s everyday life, but the day in this photo was one of them! This was a day where we did not have to worry about the highs and lows of blood sugars; a day where we could just go from one moment to the next without the constant management needs, the worry and stress of T1D.
This is the kind of day I hope Kate and Ryan get to experience again. I truly hope in Kate & Ryan’s lifetime there is a cure. What that would mean for so many—I just don’t have the words to say except that it would be a dream come true!
As we get closer to the 2024 Breakthrough T1D Central PA Gala, I hope you can join us. But even if you can’t, know you can still make a fully tax-deductible donation towards our cure. Every dollar raised helps #ALLOFUS in trying everything we can to turn type one into Type None!
- Do you remember the time before your T1D diagnosis or that of your loved one(s)?
- What would be the best aspect of life without T1D?
- What would a cure for T1D mean for you?
- We would love to see your photos of “life before T1D”—Tell us about them and what they mean to you!
We would love for you to share your story. Our hope is to share all of our stories at the 2024 Breakthrough T1D Central PA Gala because this is about #ALLOFUS. For the chance for your story to be included on signage at the Gala, e-mail abreining@BreakthroughT1D.org and/or tag your story on social media with: #ALLOFUS #JDRFCentralPAGala #JDRFWestCentralPA
