We are excited to be back IN PERSON this fall for the JDRF One Walk. JDRF has a very strong T1D community, and we invite you to join our community through JDRF One Walk. 

Tara Klieblock wanted to share her experience and why they walk as Kick it with Kennedy. 

“Our sweet Kennedy was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes four years ago on June 18th. The past four years have been a learning experience for our family and lots of ups and downs. However, through it all Kennedy has been AMAZING! She is such a warrior and so resilient and has taught our family that consistency and community are everything. This is why we love being part of the JDRF community. Getting involved in the walk right away was the best decision. We felt part of something bigger than ourselves to come together to fight for a cure for not only our daughter, but so many others fighting this same disease every day. This will be our 5th year walking and every year we have grown bigger and have added something new to the experience. The walk is such a special day for our family as we all feel empowered to continue moving forward one day at a time! It’s a spark of hope that someday there will be a cure! Type one diabetes is part of Kennedy and our family, however it doesn’t define her and it has allowed her to learn from adversity, how to fight for what she wants, and be part of an incredible community.” 

We invite you to form a team in support of JDRF! We are a community familiar with challenges. And if there ever was a community that can show the world that it’s #strongertogether, it’s the JDRF Walk family. If you have any questions, want to chat, or need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out – we are always here for you!
