Please let us know if you are participating and have Type 1 Diabetes so that we can acknowledge you by clicking the "contact race" button below.

All proceeds from this race will be donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF)/Breakthrough Type 1 (BT1D), in honor of Beau Joyner.

Personal Story: This race is organized by John Joyner, his older brother.
Diagnosis: Beau was diagnosed two days before Christmas with Type 1 Diabetes.
Support: JDRF gave Beau a stuffed bear named Rufus, a new bag with a book about diabetes for children, and more.
Funding Research: BT1D funds research and matches families with clinical trials for their children.

We are grateful for the comfort this organization gave our son and want to help fund the work they do for other children like Beau.

Increasing Diagnoses: Since 2017, there has been a 30% increase in the number of people diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
Future Outlook: This number is expected to continue to rise.
Support: Help us do something to make this disability a little less traumatic, even if it's just with a bear.
