We are getting closer to One Walk day and now is the perfect time to jump in an join this incredible community. One Walk is the nation’s largest and most powerful T1D event. It’s a day that symbolizes the power of our community and the dedication we all share for creating a world without type 1 diabetes. One Walk is a day to see our community in action and to meet others who understand the journey that is life with T1D. One Walk is a day where CGMs and insulin pumps are worn proudly, showing the strength of our T1D champions.

This fall we have THREE One Walks in our chapter:

Saturday, September 24: Wichita Community One Walk

Saturday, October 1: Kansas City One Walk

Sunday, October 16: St. Louis One Walk
