Lizzie's Lizards T1D Team 2026

Our team Lizzie's Lizards is walking with JDRF to end type 1 diabetes (T1D). Lizzie was diagnosis on August 1, 2016. She has now been living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for 10 years. She is a true fighter and brave beyond words. She has encountered so much in her life and has done it with a beautiful smile on her face! Lizzie through the years has not let this disease stop her, she has played multiple sports and has led an active life. She is so amazing! When you have T1D, your body stops producing insulin a hormone essential to turning food into energy. Managing the disease is a constant struggle that involves monitoring your blood-sugar level, injecting or infusing insulin through a pump, and balancing these insulin doses with your eating and activity. Even with a strict regimen, people with T1D may still experience dangerously high or low blood-glucose levels that can, in extreme cases, be life threatening. With T1D there are no days off. And right now, there is no cure. But there is hope and that's why our team is supporting the Breakthrough T1D Walk this year on November 1st. Now more than ever, we need you to join us in making a difference in the lives of everyone impacted by T1D. By joining our team and supporting our fundraising goal, you'll support life-changing research that helps people with T1D live healthier and longer, until a cure is found. Together, we can provide hope to the millions affected by this disease. Thank you for your support.
