Walking towards a cure. At Mahoney State Park in Ashland, hundreds are stepping up in support of one another with type one diabetes. Through this walk, Breakthrough T1D is raising funds for research and resources to help everyone live a life they deserve.
Four-year-old Ava Mahoney was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was just 17 months old. Now her friends and family including her dad Andrew are walking to support her.
“Families of type one diabetics, it’s kind of a hidden illness. They look fine, they act fine but it’s kind of life or death every day, right?” said Andrew Mahoney.
