Our Story
What started as a tribute ride in memory of our dear friend, Sebastian Stafford, has become a movement. Our Journey to Cure T1D is now an annual cycling and community event, bringing together passionate cyclists and the T1D community to fund life-changing research.
In 2024, we raised $45,000.
In 2025, we raised $55,000.
In 2026, we're aiming for $100,000 - and with your help, we can get there.
