Mr Shannon Ryan

G’day! I’m Shannon, a proud Aussie, husband, dad of two and Essendon supporter from Melbourne. I’m in the USA to run the 2026 NYC Marathon on 1 November, raising funds and awareness for Breakthrough T1D Australia. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at eight, I’m proving that a diagnosis doesn’t define your limits. Here for adventure, family, new friends and unforgettable memories.

Look for this

This is what Mr told us they'd be wearing at sign-up — and the loudest cheer of the day when they come through.

Running for a reason

Breakthrough T1D Australia

I’m running the New York Marathon for Breakthrough T1D Australia because I want to turn my 40 years of living with Type 1 diabetes into something positive. I’m raising funds to support research, advocacy and life-changing programs for people living with T1D, while helping drive us closer to a world without Type 1. Every kilometre is for everyone living with T1D - and for the hope of a cure.

Come and yell for Mr
