Be the walk the walk type
Each year, JDRF One Walk brings together more than 900,000 people across the country to change the future for everyone living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This fun, family–friendly event gives people with T1D, their loved ones, companies and the local community the opportunity to come together, create change and positively impact lives of those living with T1D.
Join us to make it safer and easier to live with this disease, until we create a world without T1D.

Be the committed to a cure type
JDRF funds research that transforms the lives of people with T1D. We want a cure, and we won't stop until we find one—but we need your help. Along the way, we will continue to drive scientific progress that delivers new treatments and therapies to help people with T1D stay healthy and live longer.
Our plan is to create a future where...
The burden is eased all day, and you sleep safely through the night
Diabetes doesn't bring other health problems
You can skip counting carbs for months at a time
Highs and lows are kept in check
Producing your own insulin doesn't require a second thought
T1D can be prevented and will never threaten anyone again
Be the get things done type
With close to 200 JDRF One Walks across the country each year, there's always an opportunity to get involved. Whether you'd like to start or join a corporate or family team, walk alone—or you prefer to volunteer—you can choose what works best for you.
Don't see a JDRF One Walk in your area? If you are at least 1 hour or 45 miles away from an existing Walk you can start a JDRF Community One Walk. These events are led, planned and executed by volunteers who are passionate about raising money for a cure.
Be the rally for research type
There are three types of JDRF One Walk teams: family, corporate and schools/youth organizations. Family teams aren't limited to family members—they can include friends, coworkers, classmates and neighbors. Corporate teams are created by companies who want to support T1D research, but just like family teams, anyone can join, even non–employees. Starting a school team is a great way to educate students about T1D, help them support classmates affected by the disease and give them a chance to make a positive impact.
No matter what type of team you're on, walking with others is beneficial. Teams generally raise more money, gather more support and awareness for T1D, and create a sense of camaraderie. To start a team, just register as a team captain and invite anyone you like.
Once you register you'll have access to your online Participant Center, where you'll find tips, tools, email templates—and everything you need to build your team and have fun raising money for research to help people with T1D live healthier and longer.
Register now and help create a world without T1D.
