🌟T1D Warrior of the Week: Dominick🌟​
​
“I am fighting for a cure for T1D for my sweet grandson Dominick. He was diagnosed a few days before his 6th birthday. Fast forward one year, he is thriving and surviving with support from his parents and external support network
He is a happy, smart young boy who enjoys Minecraft and learning. He loves to read and travel. He is the oldest of 3 boys. He has a brother who is 5 and another who is 3. Dominick is a great friend and someone his peers gravitate to. He knows that his fight is our fight and we are going to take care of him. That is the tight family unit that we are. I am proud to be Dominick’s Grammy!"

💙 T1D kids like Dominick deserve to have a normal childhood free of the burdens of T1D. Join Lincoln's grammy, Sandra, and fight to accelerate cure progress.​

Each year, members of the T1D community come together to raise money for diabetes charities through large fundraising events.

JDCA surveys T1D donors and fundraisers annually to understand their main motivation to participate. Discovering what prompts donor support and where they want their money to go is vital for nonprofits to know and internalize.

Consistently, the community tells us they walk, run, or ride for a cure. And this year, donors are signaling they may shift their support to for-profit investment to ensure more for a T1D cure.

2026 survey results are in: Donors prioritize a cure above all else.

🌟T1D Warrior of the Week: Katelin🌟​
​
“My name is Christine, my daughter’s name is Katelin. She is 11 years old and she got diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on August 4, 2023... She was a healthy young girl no health problems then it feels like over night her childhood was taken. She can no longer do what she was used to doing... every moment of her life is counting carbs checking blood sugars and giving insulin. Watching your child have a shot every day... is the most heart breaking thing. I sat on my bathroom floor praying to god to have this be a nightmare... if I could take this away from her and give it to myself I would. No child should have to go through the pain and the struggle that type 1 diabetes gives them . I pray for a cure every night.”

💙 T1D kids like Katelin should not have to fight against the dangers of this disease every day. Join other parents like Christine and join the fight to accelerate cure progress.​
