November is American Diabetes Awareness Month and once again, our organization is hosting an online fundraiser for Breakthrough T1D!
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that is diagnosed in both children and adults and has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. Managing T1D requires constant attention and action—including overnight. Even with a strict regimen, people with T1D can still experience dangerously high or low blood sugar that can lead to complications and, in extreme cases, be life-threatening.
Breakthrough T1D, the leading global T1D research and advocacy organization, has played a crucial role in nearly every major T1D breakthrough in history. No organization does more to improve everyday life with T1D—from therapy development and access, to expanding research, advocacy, and community support.
Throughout November, Rural Health, Inc. is raising funds for this wonderful organization. Your contribution to Breakthrough T1D Walk charts a path to cure, prevent, and better treat type 1 diabetes and its complications—and ensure access to treatments globally. Join Rural Health, Inc. in taking action for the entire T1D community. At the end of the month, our organization will be matching a portion of the proceeds raised! Plus, your donation puts you in the running to receive a $50 Kroger gift card (donated by the Anna Kroger store).
