Outdoor Rock Climbing Event in Exeter, Rhode Island

We are hosting an outdoor rock climbing event in Exeter, RI on October 22. This event is free for kids and teens with type 1 diabetes and their siblings. We will supply all of the gear (shoes, harnesses, and helmets) and volunteers to help everyone climb safely. This is not a drop off event. A parent or guardian will need to accompany participants. The climbing area is about 0.7 miles from the parking lot. The hike in is mostly level ground on a well established trail, with a few rocky areas and a small hill at the end. Space is limited, and registration is required. Directions will be provided after registration is complete. When registering, please indicate whether you prefer the morning (10 am-12:30 pm) or afternoon (1 pm-3:30 pm) session. Our goal is for younger kids (10 and under) to climb in the morning, with older kids climbing in the afternoon. However, we realize that this might not fit all schedules and are flexible with the age suggestions. This is a great chance to climb and connect with others affected by t1d! Please email us at rocktype1diabetes@gmail.com with questions.

]]> Our annual weekend of outdoor climbing  in Rumney, NH will take place July 27-28, 2019. The whole family is invited to participate.  We hike in to the climbing area as a group. Some parents choose to climb; others don’t. Most of the approaches to the climbing areas are 20-30 minutes. The terrain is somewhat steep and requires some degree of fitness, similar to that required of climbing several flights of stairs. Most people are fine doing the approaches in sneakers. The climbs at Rumney start at the very beginner level. No climbing experience is required. We have reserved a couple of large camp sites for the group at a campground that is a short drive from the climbing area, but there are hotels in the area if you would prefer not to camp. Rock Type 1 is covering the cost of the group camp sites. We are able to provide climbing equipment (harnesses, shoes, and helmets) for everyone who wants to climb so that no one has to buy or rent equipment. We will have experienced volunteers to belay everyone and keep everyone safe. Families usually arrive Friday evening, with climbing from Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon (weather permitting). However, some families choose to join us for either Saturday or Sunday only. We are completely flexible. Please contact us at rocktype1diabetes@gmail.com if you might be interested in joining us or would like more information about the event. For safety reasons, we keep this event very small. Please contact us soon if you are interested.

]]> Hi! I’m Liam Scott. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 7. I am aware how lucky I have been to have access to the supplies I need to keep myself healthy. There are so many people who have limited or no access to the insulin and glucose testing supplies that they need just to survive, especially in limited resource countries. Through generous donations from the type 1 diabetes community, I have collected and forwarded over $100,000 worth of insulin and other supplies to Insulin for Life-USA. They provide insulin and other supplies to limited resource countries and emergency supplies to areas affected by natural disasters in the U.S. and around the world. They are saving the lives of people with type 1 diabetes every single day.  I am so proud to have played a small role in the incredibly important work they are doing. If you would like to donate directly to Insulin for Life-USA, please visit their website. Contributions are tax deductible. Thank you to everyone who has supported Insulin for Life-USA and their life-saving mission!
