About Us

The TK.Type 1 Foundation, formerly the Team Kaylee Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, was founded in 2021 by the Mallia Brothers in Long Island, NY, after their daughter and niece, Kaylee, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) at just four years old. What began as a deeply personal journey quickly grew into a mission to support other families navigating the challenges of T1D.

TK.Type1 is dedicated to empowering individuals and families affected by T1D through coaching & education, medical reimbursement, compassionate support, and access to life-changing resources such as diabetes technology and community programs.

Through these efforts, TK.Type1 is helping families gain the tools and support they need to manage T1D with confidence and live full, healthy lives.
