We're back in Kansas and Missouri, but we left a piece of our 💙 in NOLA!
Last week, the Kansas and BT1D Missouri chapters had the opportunity to attend One Conference with other Breakthrough T1D staff, some of our incredible volunteers and board members, and researchers, advocates, and other people in the fight to end T1D. One Conference is a chance to look back at all of the research, progress, and breakthroughs being made every single day in the T1D space, and see how it impacts ourselves, our children, parents, siblings, family, friends, and loved ones as we come closer to a world without Type 1.
A very special shoutout to our St. Louis board member, Tyler Glynn, who was nominated for the Carol and Erwin Lurie Award. Tyler has exemplified strategic leadership, collaboration, and genuine commitment to Breakthrough T1D’s mission. A trusted board member and advocate, he actively participates in every meeting, lends his expertise to chapter strategy, and consistently represents the organization at community events. Congratulations again, Tyler!
And another special shoutout to YOU! To every single one of our volunteers, Walkers, Runners, RIders, board members, donors, sponsors, advocates, and anyone who has ever shown up for a T1D they love, and been a part of our community.💙
