We'd like to take a moment to highlight the accomplishments of Salmon Falls 50K runner living with T1D, Tyler Ence. Not only did Tyler complete his 2nd 50K with us at Salmon Falls this year, but he also raised an additional $2,685 for Breakthrough T1D during his training! "Hi, my name is Tyler Ence, and I’ve been living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for 18 years. Diabetes has always been a challenge, but I’ve worked hard to overcome it. I’ve also always loved distance running—it’s been a way for me to prove to myself that I’m capable of great things, even with the daily hurdles T1D brings. This year, I’m running the Salmon Falls 50k, a race I’ve wanted to do for a long time. When I learned that it benefits a T1D charity, it became even more meaningful to me. That’s why I’m fundraising for Breakthrough T1D—because I believe in their vision of a world without type 1 diabetes." Tyler crossed the finish line with his Fleet Feet Racing teammates cheering him on and a symbolic gesture to his blood glucose monitor. Tyler, you inspire us! (fb)
