SYDNEY SIMOES

I’m participating in JDRF One Walk® to raise money to create a better future for the millions of people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
I was diagnosed with T1D a year and a half ago. This is my second year doing this walk. It’s important to me to do my part to help find a cure.

When you have T1D, your pancreas stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. This means you must constantly monitor your blood-sugar level, administer insulin, and carefully balance these insulin doses with your eating and activity just to stay alive.
With T1D there are no days off and there is no cure. But there is hope.
Your donation will support life-changing breakthroughs that make it safer and easier to live with T1D, until we find a cure.
Your support makes it all possible.
