Thank you to Senator Mark Warner and Representative Brett Guthrie for speaking with our #BreakthroughT1D Advocates this week as we prepared to take our key issues to Capitol Hill and share our new name with Members of Congress.

We appreciate Senate Diabetes Caucus Co-Chairs, Senator Susan Collins and Senator Jeanne Shaheen, and Congressional Diabetes Caucus Co-chairs, Representative Diana DeGette & Representative Gus Bilirakis, for joining us this week to celebrate a huge milestone with our advocates – becoming #BreakthroughT1D. Thank you for your steadfast leadership on issues impacting the #T1D community. #GovDay2024

We are thrilled to announce that Vish Jain will be joining Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) as Chief Information Officer (CIO).    Vish comes to Breakthrough T1D from the Americares Foundation, where he served as Deputy SVP, Information Technology.     Vish not only brings more than 23 years of IT experience to his role, but also a personal passion for our mission that is fueled by his grandfather, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) 19 years ago at the age of 73.    Join us in welcoming Vish to Breakthrough T1D! 

We want to thank Bryce, and all of the incredible #BreakthroughT1D advocates who came together on Capitol Hill earlier this week to speak to their representatives about important issues like continued funding for the Special Diabetes Program (SDP).

Just days before hosting 100,000 Country Music Fans at CMA Fest, Sarah Trahern, CEO of the Country Music Association (CMA), was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

“This is the most exciting time in the history of T1D. Our work directly led to the development of automated insulin delivery systems and the first FDA-approved therapy to delay T1D onset. You made that happen. Every family Walk team, advocate, and partner played a part. Thanks to decades of work by this organization and our community, we know what cures are going to look like. Thanks to our research, people have received transplanted islets in clinical trials and are making insulin again. We will continue to work tirelessly until we achieve the ultimate T1D breakthrough: Cures.” – Sanjoy Dutta, Ph.D, Breakthrough T1D Chief Scientific Officer  For more information on how we are powering research breakthroughs, visit the link below. https://bit.ly/4c6pNPG
