Meet the Hedges family — our 2026 Fund A Cure Family for Party With 1 Purpose!

Ryan, Sarah, Colin and Luke Hedges are sharing their story to help move us closer to a cure.

When Luke was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) at just six years old, the Hedges family's world changed overnight. Today, managing T1D means around-the-clock blood-sugar monitoring, insulin, medical devices and sleepless nights filled with alarms. Incredible advances have made living with T1D safer — but there is still no cure.

Luke is an energetic 9-year-old who loves soccer, snowmobiling, dirt biking and making people smile. T1D doesn't define him, but it impacts every single day of his life. The Hedges family's dream is simple: a future where Luke can just be a kid.

Every gift to Fund A Cure fuels groundbreaking research toward better treatments, life-changing breakthroughs and a world without T1D.

Join us at Party With 1 Purpose on October 17 at the Basketball Hall of Fame, and support Luke's family today by visiting breakthrought1d.org/connecticutwestma/events/hedges
