Every family’s journey with GLUT1 Deficiency is a climb - where every step takes planning, strength, courage, and resolve. Patients and families navigate daily challenges others never see, adjusting, adapting, detouring, and persevering - and no one should have to make that climb alone.
Love Some1 with GLUT1 is our annual effort to unite patients, families, researchers, clinicians, and supporters around a shared goal: moving the mission of the G1DF forward so that every person with GLUT1 Deficiency has access to better care, better treatments, and a brighter future.
This year’s theme, Climbing Mountains Together, reflects both the real challenges our community faces and the collective strength it takes to overcome them - together. Scientific progress is essential, but it’s the hope, resilience, and love of this community that fuel the climb and ensures no one has to face it alone.
Your support makes you part of this journey.
- When we climb together, science moves forward in ways that matter most to patients and families.
- When we climb together, hope becomes something real, something tangible, and something possible.
- When we climb together, love leads the way.
Together, these forces move mountains.
