Our latest report analyzes Breakthrough T1D contracted research grants during the past fiscal year. This review allows us to see which research areas the organization is prioritizing now, and, ultimately, what research your donations are likely funding.

‘Contracted’ grants refers to the total amount committed in FY25 to be allocated over several years. This is different from actual grant spending, which was reported earlier this month.

📰

The nonprofit committed to $58M in contracted cure pathway grants, the highest funding level since 2014.

🌟T1D Warrior of the Week: Cassie🌟​
​
“My name is Casandra aka Cassie. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 12 years old. I remember being an athlete playing basketball and finding ways to tuck my pump in my gear and all the highs, lows and cramping during my games. Many tears shed from time missed on the court. I remember crying as a kid because I wasn’t hungry but had to eat because it was 'time' to eat. Fast forward to now I am a registered nurse and mother. I deeply wish for a cure so my son Carter will never share the struggles I’ve had along the way. I wish for a cure so he can live his life to the fullest without worry of complications one day. I wish for a cure so I can see my son grow up. Signing the petition and bringing more attention to the cure is just the start for all of us living with type 1 diabetes.”

💙 Cassie's story highlights the T1D journey from childhood to adulthood and facing the changing realities and daily battles. She is not only fighting for her, she's fighting for her child's future. These stories fuel our determination to drive cure-focused advocacy forward and remind us why we must keep pushing until a cure is found.​

🌟T1D Warrior of the Week: Payten🌟​
​
“My beautiful daughter Payten. She was diagnosed at age 11. We found out Payten had the antibodies for type 1 diabetes because of a rash on her foot. She started insulin a year after the initial diagnoses. I was so grateful she never went into DKA. We were able to monitor her closely with the help of her endocrinologist. Payten is fiercely independent. She insists on putting on her pump and dexcoms. She is an honor roll student and is on the yearbook committee. She is in the school play. I am amazed by her strength and courage. She is wise beyond words. She is a typical teenager who loves her friends and loves shopping. She is my hero.”

💙 Stories like Payten's are the impetus behind our cure advocacy work. Your stories are a reminder that we must keep fighting until a cure is found.​
