Mouledoux, Bland, Legrand & Brackett’s walk team, Marching 4 McFaull, will once again participate in the Breakthrough T1D Walk (formerly the JDRF One Walk), the world’s largest fundraising and community-building event for the Type 1 Diabetes community. This year, the Breakthrough T1D Walk will take place at LaFreniere Park in Metairie, Louisiana, on November 16, 2024.
Nine years ago, MBLB started participating in the Breakthrough T1D Walk as a tribute to our friend and colleague, Jordan McFaull, who passed away from Type 1 Diabetes in 2015. This year, Marching 4 McFaull will continue its efforts to help the organization raise money for a cure and create a world without Type 1 Diabetes.
By donating to or joining our team today, you can help fund research that impacts the lives of the millions of children, adults, and families challenged by T1D every day. With your support, we will help Breakthrough T1D turn Type One into Type None.
Thank you to everyone who supports the cause and our friend, Jordan.

About Jordan McFaull
Jordan passed unexpectedly in 2015 as a result of complications from type 1 diabetes. He was a graduate of Tulane University and Loyola University College of Law, and joined Mouledoux, Bland, Legrand & Brackett after passing the bar in 2014. He was an industrious and resourceful attorney and a cheerful addition to our firm. Jordan is missed by everyone with whom he worked. We will be walking in his honor and we hope you will all help us to support this worthy cause.
As Jordan’s father, Rod McFaull, wrote to us after the 2016 One Walk,
“Diabetes is a devastating disease, much more than people realize. I am so thankful for the firm’s willingness to help defeat this terrible disease in Jordan’s name. As the firm’s goal kept rising and being met and then surpassed again, I sensed Jordan’s spirit saying: “… press on, press on, and don’t stop.”
our commitment to breakthrough t1d
MBLB has formally adopted Breakthrough T1D as the firm’s philanthropic charity and will be matching the funds raised by our team. We believe strongly in the organization’s mission to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. T1D is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin—a hormone essential to turning food into energy. It strikes both children and adults and is unrelated to diet and lifestyle. With T1D there are no days off, and there is no cure—yet. Your support can help change that.
About breakthrough t1d
As the leading global type 1 diabetes (T1D) research and advocacy organization, Breakthrough T1D has played a crucial role in nearly every major T1D breakthrough in history. No organization does more to improve everyday life with T1D—from therapy development and access, to expanding research, advocacy, and community support.
T1D is an autoimmune disease that is diagnosed in both children and adults and has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. Managing T1D requires constant attention and action—including overnight. Even with a strict regimen, people with T1D can still experience dangerously high or low blood sugar that can lead to complications and, in extreme cases, be life-threatening.
