Kids for a Cure
Held every two years, Kids for a Cure is Breakthrough T1D Canada’s most important advocacy event. Our youth advocates from across Canada help politicians understand the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes and the importance of accelerating progress towards cures.

Breakthrough T1D knows how important it is to ensure the voices of our type 1 diabetes (T1D) community are heard at the government decision-making table. This is why every other year, we bring together our incredible youth delegates from across the country to share their personal stories of what it is like to live with T1D.
Their stories allow government officials better understand the daily challenges of this relentless disease, while emphasizing the importance of accelerating progress towards a cure.
