It’s more than a Walk, it’s a movement to end T1D
Join Breakthrough T1DTM Walk and Canadians across the country and help make T1D history.
Breakthrough T1D Walk is Canada’s largest fundraising event in support of those living with type 1 diabetes (T1D)—bringing together thousands of families, friends, and supporters to accelerate breakthroughs and get us closer to cures.
So, whether you live with T1D or support someone who does, Breakthrough T1D Walk is your chance to stand up, step forward, and walk for a future free from T1D.
The first Walk was held in 1994 in three locations – Toronto, Hamilton and Ottawa – and collectively raised $100,000. Since that inaugural year, the Walk has expanded to hundreds of communities that have raised more than $146 million to support T1D research over the last 33 years.
