SAN DIEGO (FOX 5\/KUSI) \u2014 Two local teenagers living with Type 1 Diabetes joined forces to host a benefit rock concert, raising thousands of dollars for Breakthrough T1D<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead of battling it out, the bands banded together, for a cause close to their hearts.<\/p>\n

Brooke Lowman and Noam Luft were both diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so difficult to transform from being a normal kid to all of a sudden putting all this pressure, having to learn your entire life plan medically within a few days,\u201d Lowman said.<\/p>\n

And they both found a passion for music. Brooke Lowman plays in the band A1C, and Noam Luft plays in Vermillion Fever.<\/p>\n

Separate sounds, that come together to raise money to find a cure, and better advanced technology to fight Type 1 Diabetes.<\/p>\n

The money goes back to Breakthrough T1D, the organization that helped them from day one.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were both diagnosed, they found us, they came to us with support, resources, they gave us insulin practice kits, teddy bears and they made the radical life style change much much much much more manageable and they really provide the best community for diabetics and their just so supportive and so helpful and to be able to give back to them for everything they\u2019ve done for us means the world,\u201d Noam Luft said.<\/p>\n

\u201cType 1 diabetes has been the worst thing that\u2019s ever happened to me, but it\u2019s also the best thing that\u2019s ever happened to me because it\u2019s made me the person I am today,\u201d Brooke Lowman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a tough fight, but she\u2019s a fighter,\u201d Tyler Lowman, Brooke\u2019s dad, said. \u201cShe\u2019s been able to embrace music to try to help her get through everything and just put a positive twist on everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNoam\u2019s journey with music started when he was 4 years old, and he was diagnosed at the age of 2 \u00bd,\u201d Noam\u2019s Dad, Ido Luft, said that Noam\u2019s journey with music and Type 1 Diabetes began around the same time, which has been nearly his entire life. \u201cIt\u2019s very encouraging and joyful to see him thriving with diabetes and his music career.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be my life goal to lead us to a cure someday for Type 1 diabetes. I was literally leading the whole thing, and I would do anything,\u201d Brooke Lowman said.<\/p>\n

She has raised more than $20,000 for Breakthrough T1D and served as the Grand Marshal in the Breakthrough T1D walk.<\/p>\n
