JDRF Triangle Walk/T1D Day – October 30 – Join us at Pullen Park or Celebrate Your Day Your Way!

• Join JDRF as we head out on our One Walk, Adventuring Toward a Cure. This summer we kicked off Walk season with new adventures and challenges every month for our walk teams.  Register for the Triangle Walk HERE and connect with our community to be inspired by the life-changing research we are funding to find a cure for our loved ones with T1D.

This year’s Walk will have the same mission but with a new look.  You can join us for an in-person celebration at Pullen Park on October 30 OR celebrate the day your own way.

OPTION 1 – PULLEN PARK – Take a walk at Pullen Park on October 30 around the lake.  Enjoy a fun afternoon at this wonderful park close to downtown Raleigh.  The JDRF staff and volunteers are planning a spectacular event for family and corporate teams.  A staggered entry process will be in place to ensure a safe and organized afternoon for everyone.

OPTION 2 – WALK ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, YOUR WAY! – If you prefer, you can create a walk route in your neighborhood, challenge yourself with a long hike or walk indoors on a treadmill.  Please be sure to post pictures on social media so we can share in your fun day!

However you choose to walk, October 30 will be a day for our community to celebrate our stories, recognize our accomplishments and walk to change the future for everyone living with T1D.
