Welcome tent

Everyone is invited to come by the Breakthrough T1D stand on Walk Day to learn more about Breakthrough T1D and how we are working to create a world without type 1 diabetes. We especially want to meet all our incredible type 1 participants who will receive a Superhero cape to wear, so everyone can celebrate the type 1 heroes we are walking for.

Children's activity area

Visit the children's activity area and check out all the fun complete with inflatables, balloon modelling and multiple activities that are open to everyone.

Exhibitor area

Please visit our exhibitor area to find great information on the latest type 1 diabetes tech! 

Pets

One Walk is dog friendly! Leashed dogs who do well in large crowds are more than welcome to join you on the day.

They remain the responsibility of the owner and must be kept on the lead at all times.
