Igniting hope. Inspiring life.
One story at a time.
Chase the Cure is committed to a world without type 1 diabetes (T1D) by stimulating funding for innovative research that will lead to technology to cure, prevent, and treat T1D while increasing community awareness on symptoms and complications.
What is type 1 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease. This means that it doesn’t go away. Anyone can be diagnosed at any age, though it usually is diagnosed in childhood or adolescence.
In T1D, the body’s immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Insulin is an essential hormone that helps the body turn food into energy. People living with T1D must take insulin by injection or insulin pump to survive.
Living with T1D requires extra work, but with the right support and information, you or your loved one can lead a fulfilling, active life.
Chase's journey: the heart of our mission
In the heart of our community beats a story of resilience and hope that has ignited a collective quest for a cure. This story began with Chase, a vibrant 5-year-old with an infectious smile and a love for life, who faced an unexpected challenge that would change his and his family’s lives forever.
