The 2020 Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend was one for the record books. January 8-12, Team JDRF had 150 runners joining over 50,000+ participants to run throughout the parks of Walt Disney World®. Our Team JDRF participants collectively ran over 2,005 miles to help find a cure for T1D. Throughout the weekend each of our Team JDRF participants celebrated there own accomplishments and we wanted to share a few updates and pictures with you. It was truly a magical experience for everyone! We thank you all for helping to make it a special one for these participants!
