"This journey is bigger than blood sugar numbers and finger pokes. It’s about resilience, courage, and showing up every single day. This walk means hope to me: hope for easier days, better treatments, and one day, cures. Every step is for the people living with T1D, the families beside them, and the reminder that no one fights this alone." - Sean, Team I Love Lucy

“My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was seven years old. Since then, our family has experienced firsthand the daily challenges that come with managing this disease. Organizations like Breakthrough T1D play an important role in funding research, supporting families, and working toward better treatments and ultimately cures. As we celebrated the grand opening of Frutta Bowls-Pompton Lakes, it felt meaningful to give back to a cause that has impacted our lives so deeply.” - Semra

💙Who will you be walking for this fall?

"We walk so Christopher grows up knowing he has an entire community beside him cheering him on every step of the way. We walk so he sees the love and support from our family and friends, and so he knows there are so many other kids and families living this same journey too. Some days with T1D are hard, exhausting, and overwhelming. But this community makes those days feel a little lighter." - Bri

This fall, join thousands of families, friends, and supporters as we come together to move toward a world without type 1 diabetes. Whether you’re walking for someone you love, honoring your own journey, or showing up for the T1D community, every step matters.

Sunshine + Community + Connection 💙

💙 Shout out to Eric’s Type 1 Turtles for stepping up and walking this year in support of life-changing T1D research!

“My son Eric was diagnosed with T1D two years ago at just 9 years old. Eric has such a big heart! He loves cooking for his family, playing video games with his brother, working the tractor, and all things yellow. He has handled the ups and downs of this disease with so much courage and strength.

We walk to raise awareness and hope that one day there will be a cure. It’s a bonus that it’s also a really fun event! Our favorite way to raise funds is a lemonade stand. Our family, friends, and neighbors all come to have fun, donate to this wonderful cause, and enjoy lemonade made by Eric!” – Andrea
