Rock Type 1

Rock Type 1 Rock Type 1 is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of those with type All donations are tax deductible.

When our son Liam was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 7, we made a promise to him that he would be able to continue doing all of the things that he had been doing before his diagnosis, including rock climbing. As a result of remaining active, he continues to be a strong, healthy kid, despite the challenges presented by his medical condition. We founded Rock Type 1 to encourage individuals with type 1 diabetes to embrace an active lifestyle. Our mission is to provide opportunities for individuals to experience rock climbing and other activities, as well as providing education regarding the benefits of exercise. DONATIONS to Rock Type 1 can made online through the PayPal link below. Rock Type 1 is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation, operating under the FEIN 46-1264197. Rock Type 1 is a completely volunteer organization. All proceeds go directly to our work to encourage an active lifestyle for those with type 1 diabetes. If you prefer to make a donation by check, please contact us at rocktype1diabetes@gmail.com. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=RMFGNTWANZ5B2

COVID vaccine #1 for this kid. So grateful that included type 1 diabetes in their underlying conditions and that and many others worked so hard to make this happen.

03/14/2021

For those of you searching for a COVID vaccine appointment, this tool is amazing! After spending most of the last two days searching online and calling pharmacies, we signed up for this tool late last night, got a text alert around 3 am that appointments had become available in our area, and signed our son up for his first shot on Thursday!

This is a site built by a few folks who were tired of clicking refresh on pharmacy websites trying to get a vaccine appointment. It won't make you eligible for a vaccine, sign you up for one, or make slots appear, but it will save you from clicking refresh a lot.
