Investing in Beyond the Diagnosis means investing in the lives of individuals impacted by type 1 diabetes. Your support helps raise awareness, provide vital education, and fuel groundbreaking research — all of which bring us one step closer to a cure. There is no greater return on investment than the opportunity to change lives and inspire hope for a better future.
Every day, someone hears the words that change everything: “You have type 1 diabetes.”
It’s a diagnosis that rewrites life — turning daily routines into blood sugar checks, spontaneity into strict planning, and simple dreams into constant calculations. There is no cure. Only the hope that someone, somewhere, is fighting to make this journey easier.
Touched by Type 1 is that someone. Founded by Elizabeth Forrest — diagnosed at age 10 — Touched by Type 1 is a national nonprofit reaching thousands of individuals every year. Through free programs, community support, and advocacy, TBT1 helps people living with T1D reclaim what this disease tries to take away: the freedom to thrive.
Now, Touched by Type 1 is partnering with Hodges Film to bring Beyond the Diagnosis to life — a feature-length documentary sharing the real stories of individuals and families living with Type 1 Diabetes. The film will spotlight their resilience and challenges while amplifying the strength of the T1D community to educate, inspire, and raise awareness nationwide.
This documentary will amplify TBT1’s mission — fueling education, outreach, and action that can change the story for millions living with T1D today.
Your sponsorship isn’t just a donation. It’s a declaration that their lives matter — and their futures deserve more than a diagnosis.
