Touched by Type 1

Tomorrow night, we take the stage for the 24th annual Dancing for Diabetes! We’re honored to share Elizabeth’s story, as featured on WFTV with Alexa Lorenzo. From the prestigious Steinmetz Hall, she spoke about the heart and mission of Touched by Type 1 — bringing hope, awareness, and free resources to those touched by type 1 diabetes. Join us tomorrow night and be part of the celebration! If you’re outside Central Florida, you can still join us — tune in to the livestream at dancingfordiabetes.org

From the moment Elizabeth was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 10, her family found strength in community by joining a diabetes walk. That moment sparked a movement, and 25 years later, Steps to a Cure continues to unite families, raise awareness, and empower those with T1D to thrive! ?? This year, we had an incredible 1,000+ participants come together, exceeding our fundraising goals and making a lasting impact in the fight to find a cure! ?? ?? A huge THANK YOU to our amazing sponsors, dedicated volunteers, and every single person who walked, donated, and supported this mission. Your passion and generosity fuel the progress we celebrate today! Steps Today, A Cure Tomorrow! #T1D #Type1Diabetes #T1 #LakeEola
