This , hear from Team James' T1D Champion, James, on why he walks:

"I walk to help raise awareness for finding a cure. I’m over [two years] since my diagnosis at 9 years old. It’s been tough but I am starting to feel like I’ve got things under control. I’d like to find a cure, so more kids don’t have to go through all that we do now with type one."

You can join Team James and the rest of the T1D community at our Chicago Suburbs walk on October 18! Register here: http://walk.breakthrought1d.org/chicagosuburbs
