Breakthrough T1D Eastern Iowa

05/14/2026

We are SO close to the finish line! 💙

The Cedar Rapids Breakthrough T1D Walk has officially reached 95% of our fundraising goal — and now we need YOUR help to get us the rest of the way to $353,500!

Every dollar raised helps fund life-changing type 1 diabetes research, advocacy, and support for families living with T1D every single day.

As we head into Walk Day this Saturday at The Yard /Big Grove Brewery, let’s make one final push together. Whether you donate $5, $10, $50, or more, every contribution brings us closer to a future without T1D.

✨ Donate today
✨ Share this post
✨ Ask a friend or family member to support

Together, we can cross that finish line. Let’s do this, Eastern Iowa! 💙
