The Division of Pediatric Endocrinology in the Weill Cornell Medicine Department of Pediatrics is leading a walking team for Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Phyllis and David Komansky Center for Children's Health. All are welcome to join and support our team! We are walking to help JDRF create a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D) for the millions of children and adults living with this disease.
With T1D, a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. If you have T1D, you must constantly monitor your blood-sugar level, inject or infuse insulin through a pump, and carefully balance these insulin doses with your eating and activity.
Living with T1D means there are no days off and there is no cure. But there is hope.
By donating or joining our JDRF One Walk® team today, you’ll help fund research to improve the lives of everyone challenged by T1D. With your support, JDRF will turn Type One into Type None.
