Huge shoutout to Ryan for crushing the ride in La Crosse, WI for Breakthrough T1D!

Ryan traveled all the way from Alaska to the Midwest to make a difference! Every mile ridden brings us closer to a world without type 1 diabetes. Thank you for showing up, showing out, and riding for a reason.

Way to go, Ryan you're an inspiration!

Last year, Julie joined the T1D club with her 21-year-old daughter. This year, she's joining us again at our Community Summit: Seattle, not just as a parent of a T1D, but as an adult living with it too. Come connect with Julie and others impacted by T1D on October 18th for our keynote "Taking Flight with T1D" featuring two commercial T1D pilots, plus a vendor fair, research update, and more.

Want to multiply your impact?

For longtime riders Eric and Marie, Ride is deeply personal. They ride for their son Matt, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 13. After 26 Ride seasons, they're still committed to creating a future free from T1D.

One of Eric's biggest fundraising tips? Don't overlook employer matching gifts.

Eric estimates that his former employer, Boeing, has matched more than $20,000 of his personal donations to Breakthrough T1D over the years, helping turn every dollar he gives into even greater impact. As he puts it: "Always, always ask for a match."

✅ Join Ride
✅ Fundraise for breakthrough research
✅ Check whether your employer offers a matching gift program
✅ Maximize the impact of every donation

Every mile matters. Every dollar matters. And with matching gifts, your support can go even further.💙
