Every mile has a purpose. đź’™ This November, one of our Team Breakthrough T1D runners will take on the New York City Marathon for a cause that hits close to home. Read Adam's story and why he's running in support of Breakthrough T1D below...
"This November, I’ll be running the New York City Marathon for Breakthrough T1D, raising money to support research and the search for a cure for Type 1 diabetes. While I’ve spent countless hours training to cover 26.2 miles (while also training for a half ironman), this race means more to me than a finish time or personal accomplishment. My dad, my brother, and now my niece all live with Type 1 diabetes, and every mile I run is dedicated to the challenges they face every day. Running for something bigger than myself has brought a new perspective to training. It’s a reminder that while marathons are difficult, there are people fighting a much longer and more demanding endurance event every single day.
This photo of my brother and me on the tennis court is a perfect reminder of that reality. Even with modern continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps, and real-time tracking data, managing blood sugar during exercise remains incredibly complex. Athletes with Type 1 diabetes have to constantly balance insulin, nutrition, and activity levels to avoid dangerous highs and lows. Alexander Zverev has shown the world what’s possible while competing at the highest level, but his success also highlights the discipline and vigilance required every day. As I prepare to run through all five boroughs, I’m grateful for the opportunity to support Breakthrough T1D and help fund the research that can make life easier for millions of families like mine and, someday, deliver a cure."
We’re proud to have him representing Team Breakthrough T1D in New York City! Every dollar raised helps advance research, improve lives, and bring us closer to a world without T1D. 💙"
