On March 1st we kicked off this year’s Beat the Bridge event with the annual Team Captain Luncheon. Speakers from Nordstrom and JDRF shared updates on the 36-year history of Beat the Bridge and the vital research that it funds each year.

This year’s four Beat the Bridge ambassadors – Emma, Grace, Evan and Natalie – inspired the audience with their personal stories and demonstrated the remarkable strength and resilience of those who live with Type 1 diabetes each day. You can learn more about how they thrive despite T1D, and their hopes for a cure, in this year’s ambassador video.

Beat the Bridge 2018 will take place on Sunday, May 20th at Husky Stadium. Whether you are a first-time participant or a returning racer, Beat the Bridge is a fun, family-friendly way to raise awareness and funds for Type 1 diabetes research. The event consists of an 8K run, a 3-mile walk, a 1-mile fun run and the fan favorite Diaper Derby for toddlers.

We hope you join us for this year’s event! To learn more and register, visit www.beatthebridge.org.
