Thank you for showing up and showing out this Saturday! To every walker, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter - you turned out in force for the T1D community, and we felt it. Every step, every dollar, every "I'm here for you" moved us closer to a cure.

This is what it looks like when a community stands as one. We can't wait to keep breaking through - together.

And don’t forget, every registration makes an impact! Ford is donating $50 for every registered walker, up to $75,000, to help fuel T1D research.

Let’s finish strong and see you tomorrow! 🏈💙
