11/7/2026 8:00 AM (CST) Breakthrough T1D Dallas Walk

Juliette DC — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 08:00:00 Z

Join Breakthrough T1D for the Dallas Walk on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Grandscape in The Colony. This family-friendly event brings together individuals and families of all ages and abilities to support people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), raise awareness, advance research and move closer to a cure.

The morning begins at 8 a.m. with activities, Resource Row and stage entertainment. The opening ceremony and T1D Champions Parade begin at 9 a.m., followed by the 1.5-mile walk at 9:30 a.m. Light refreshments, activities and family fun continue at 10 a.m.

Participants can take part in a Flag Ceremony celebrating personal connections to T1D, share messages of hope and encouragement on the Community Wall, explore the Pathway to Progress highlighting milestones in T1D research, and see Breakthrough Mile signs honoring local T1D champions.

The walk is led by Event Co-Chairs John Dillon and Sarah Morris. For the Dillon family, the event is personal. Johns youngest daughter, Lauren, was diagnosed with T1D at age 19 during her freshman year of college after being hospitalized with blood sugar levels in the 700s. With no family history of T1D, the family quickly learned the physical, mental and emotional challenges of managing an autoimmune diseaseand discovered a supportive T1D community that helped them navigate the journey.

Today, the Dillon family is deeply involved in the T1D community. Lauren has volunteered and interned with Breakthrough T1D and is pursuing a masters degree in nonprofit leadership, inspired in part by her experience with T1D and her desire to help others. John, his wife Elisha and their family are leading the Dallas Walk in honor of Lauren and alongside the T1D community they have come to know and love.

Come walk, connect with the T1D community and help make a difference. Participants can register to walk in person or virtually. Free general parking is available at 5750 Grandscape Blvd.
