BT1D Desert West

You know what it's like to live with T1D, now you can use your experience to help someone else feel less alone. 💙

Outreach Ambassadors are the heart of our community — connecting newly diagnosed families, sharing your story, and showing people that a full, thriving life with type 1 diabetes is possible. No experience required, just a willingness to show up for someone the way you wish someone had shown up for you.

Ready to turn your experience into someone else's hope? Learn more about becoming an Outreach Ambassador at breakthrought1d.org/desertwest/2026/09/16/outreachambassador/
