One Morning in May: Beat the Bridge for Breakthrough T1D Raises Funds and Awareness to Beat Type 1 Diabetes

Posted in:

Seattle’s University District streets were at a crawl on the morning of Beat the Bridge for Breakthrough T1D, Saturday, May 10th, the day when hundreds came together for a walk/run to support research for type 1 diabetes. Now in its 43rd year, this event is a fun-filled extravaganza, with a brass band performing at Seattle’s University Bridge to entertain runners stranded when the drawbridge goes up, and a party at the finish line on the field of Husky Stadium.

This year the MG2 Foundation sponsored a team of 24, both walkers and runners, raising a total of $1400.

“Our team tee shirts were designed by our very own Ryan Lascano,” says MG2 Foundation’s Beat the Bridge team lead Cathy Clark. “’Type One? More like Type Done!’ We want to make this a reality.”
