Breakthrough T1D, formerly JDRF, will bring the Breakthrough T1D Walk back to San Antonio. The signature community event unites over 3,000 participants in a movement to fund life-changing research, advocacy, and support for the 1.9 million Americans living with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
T1D is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect anyone at any age. In T1D, the body’s immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. People living with T1D rely on insulin via injection or pump to survive. Walk teams and individual participants gather to raise funds for a cure and to show support for the T1D community.
