One Walk is back in-person! We are so excited to be back with all our teams this year to celebrate the power of our T1D community. For those new to JDRF and the incredible day that is One Walk, welcome! The JDRF One Walk is our annual fundraising walk, but it’s so much more. It’s a day where our entire T1D community comes together to bring us one step closer to a world without type 1 diabetes. It’s a day of inspiration, love, and celebration for the warriors in our community. It’s a day where everyone and anyone affected by T1D knows how supported they are.

We are still finalizing details but stay tuned for One Walk dates and locations to be announced soon! You can stay up to date on the latest One Walk announcements by following us on Facebook (@JDRFKansasMissouri), Instagram (@jdrfksmo) and Twitter (@jdrfksmo).

We are thrilled to be back in person for the One Walk this year, and we asked some of our amazing One Walk teams to share their excitement:

“The main reason I love the JDRF One Walk is that it renews my hope for a cure for T1D every year. I love witnessing the community of supporters and hearing about all the fabulous research being done to improve my life with T1D and hopefully rid my life of T1D. I am most excited to be in person with my community of supporters at the upcoming One Walk – it is so humbling to witness the support of so many friends and family members that have stayed by my side over the past 20 plus years with
a shared hope of a cure for T1D for me.”

– Teresa G., T’s Team

“We love One Walk, because it’s a way to support our son and raise money for type 1 diabetes research. We look forward to raising even more money and meeting other T1D families in person this year!”

– Annie T., Shaw Eckler’s Diabetes Squad!!!

“2021 was our first year to participate in One Walk after my daughter’s type 1 diagnosis in November of 2020. Since the walk was virtual, we decided to host our own event in our hometown. We had over 100 participants signed up for a Color Run/Walk to raise money for JDRF. We raised over double our initial goal and can’t wait to make 2022 even better! We love the opportunity to participate in One Walk so that we can meet other T1D families, as well as, increase awareness of type 1 diabetes.”

 – Kristina R., Hiawatha T1D Warriors

“My son Landon was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 8 years old, and we have participated in the JDRF walk every year since that day. Landon created a walk team, Land-On A Cure, and began inviting friends and family to join us as we walked for a cure! The in-person walk is always our favorite, because we are able to see friends he has made since the day he found out he had type 1 diabetes, but also all the new people we get to meet at the in-person walk.”

– Nikki B., Land-On A Cure 

Our One Walk teams are incredible and passionate about the T1D community and what One Walk represents. It represents strength. It represents support. It represents hope. We invite you to be a part of this year’s One Walk, as we come together in person this fall to bring us one step closer to a world without type 1 diabetes.

More details will be announced soon, so stay tuned! For any One Walk questions, contact Kayla Taszarek at ktaszarek@jdrf.org or 314.710.0187.
