Community activities
Community and belonging is a key tenet of Breakthrough T1D’s commitment to improving the lives of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) today, while we work towards cures. We partner with dedicated volunteer committees to organize local community activities for both adults and families affected by T1D. The type of activities vary by community, as they are hosted and run by amazing volunteer groups.
