“My advocacy journey on the international level was inspired and built by T1International. I didn't know anything about advocacy or fundraising but I wanted to get involved and help amplify my voice.”
Eleanor Callaghan, United Kingdom
Eleanor spoke at our #insulin4all Summit and ran the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October 2023, raising over £700!
“Being from the UK, I am in a privileged position to receive free healthcare so I turned to fundraising to help support the charity alongside my advocacy. T1I has allowed me to connect and work with fellow diabetics around the world, which is a really supportive community. I hope the money I have raised will continue the great work of T1I and support all diabetics.”
Krissy hosts DiabeTEASE Burlesque shows in Dallas, Texas. She has raised over $5,300 to date, with the 2024 show on track to be bigger and better than ever!
“My commitment to fundraising for diabetes is deeply inspired by the incredible diabetic performers I know and work with. Many of these talented individuals face the daily challenge of managing their health without the safety net of health insurance. By fundraising for T1International, I'm supporting a cause I'm deeply passionate about and ensuring that the resources we raise are helping those in need, rather than bolstering the profits of pharmaceutical giants.”
