Don’t miss out on the largest T1D One Walk in history!

in ,

We are thrilled to introduce the largest JDRF One Walk in history!

Your Walk is the vehicle to share your story, and it’s your fundraising that powers our mission. You can walk as little or as much as you’d like, from the time you register through the end of 2020!

As a JDRF community we are committed to walking 1.6 million miles (for the 1.6 million Americans living with T1D) and raising $50 million dollars to commemorate JDRF’s 50 years of progress.

On November 1 for the first time ever, we will come together as a global community for National One Walk Day! We hope you are looking forward to a day of virtual fun, camaraderie and celebration just as much as we are. Details about the big day are below.

If you haven’t registered yet, what are you waiting for?

What’s new this year?

Miles Toward Mission – Strava Integration
Strava, a social-fitness network that tracks walking and running activities, is now integrated with your Participant Center so you can track and log the collective distance your team, your family and community is walking together in pursuit of a world without T1D. Learn how to set up & connect Strava.

Roblox
Roblox is a global platform where millions of people log in to take part in immersive, user-generated 3D worlds. JDRF will be the first nonprofit to have their own “world” for JDRF supporters to play in during the Finish Line Festival on November 1 and beyond!

Finish Line Festival
On November 1 you can take part in the first-ever virtual finish line celebration! We’ll showcase our local T1D community – sponsors, walkers and teams on our celebration website. You’ll visit our T-shirt Hall of Fame, a virtual Mile of Hope, social walls and top fundraising recognition with the Fearle$$ 50, and a live streaming of the new JDRF Roblox game.

Adopt a Family
Would you like to welcome a team new to One Walk this year? We’ll pair you with a new team to visit – in-person or virtually – to deliver their One Walk Welcome kit. Find out more here.

T-shirt Hall of Fame
Share a photo of yourself, your child, family or team in their team T-shirt to our online gallery! The photos will be included in our Finish Line Festival. Submit a photo of your team T-shirt here.

Fundraise through Facebook
Now that fundraising has moved mostly online, it’s time to start thinking of some fun, new ideas to raise money for T1D research. Start by connecting your participant center to your Facebook.

Walk Fundraising Toolkit
This toolkit is designed to help you navigate virtual fundraising and how to raise more funds for research. It’s easily accessed in your participant center once you’re registered for One Walk.

Nothing can stop our fight for a world without T1D. We are stronger together!
