Meet Chaz, our Adult Group Lead and Mission & Experience Chair for the New Mexico Walk. 😊

"I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 28, and at first, I felt distraught and alone. My life changed overnight, but I was determined not to let T1D define what I could do or keep me from living the life I wanted—especially with the arrival of my daughter on the horizon.

I’ve always loved being outdoors, astronomy, repairing things, and learning. T1D has certainly changed how I approach life, but it hasn’t changed my determination to live it fully. I refuse to let diabetes hold me back from the things I love or the experiences I want to share with my family.

I wanted to become involved with Breakthrough T1D to give back to the community, connect with others living with T1D, support families facing this disease, and help raise awareness. Being part of a community that supports one another while working toward a future without T1D is incredibly inspiring. I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute and help make that future a reality."

"I've now been living with T1D for over 32 years, and it's woven into every part of my life, as a CEO running a 140-person company, as a competitive endurance athlete who has run marathons on five continents, and as a father of two boys who watches this disease with a different kind of urgency now."

Chris raised over $1 million for T1D research since his diagnosis, and he continues to fundraise because he believes in the research Breakthrough T1D is funding. Chris began running with our Desert West team during the 2022 Boston Marathon and has been unstoppable since.

Join Breakthrough T1D Run as we take on Abbott World Marathon Majors in Sydney, Boston, Berlin, Chicago, New York City, London, Cape Town, and Chris's marathon of choice - Tokyo!
