Together, we have raised over $355,000 and moved over 100,000 km (and counting). Thank you to everyone who was a part of the 3rd Annual Lace Up to End Diabetes. Throughout September, you Laced Up, challenged yourself, came together, and made a difference for the 1 in 3 people affected by diabetes across Canada. We couldn't have done it without our wonderful Lacers, partners, team captains, and supporters.

Thank you all for Lacing Up to help bring us one step closer to a cure. See you next year!
