T1D WARRIOR ATHLETES
TRAIN HARD. COMPETE BOLDLY.
Every sport. Every level. One team.
Warrior Athletes use their sport to represent the T1D community, raise awareness, and show families that a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis does not take away what is possible.
Some live with T1D. Others compete for someone who does. All of them are Warrior Athletes.
NO 1 FIGHTS ALONE.
THIS IS BIGGER THAN THE RESULT.
A Warrior Athlete can be a runner, cyclist, lifter, swimmer, volleyball player, golfer, wrestler, baseball player, CrossFit athlete, student-athlete, weekend competitor, or professional.
You do not need a certain pace, ranking, follower count, or experience level.
You simply need a sport you care about, a connection to the T1D community, and a willingness to represent something bigger than yourself.
WE SUPPORT THE ATHLETES WHO CARRY THE MISSION.
COMPETITION SUPPORT
Selected athletes may receive help with approved competition registration fees.
ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT
Opportunities to share your story through the T1D Warriors website and social channels.
