This is our movement to end diabetes
Spend your September with people across Canada who are challenging themselves and their team to #LaceUpYourWay! Together, we will cover thousands of kilometres to raise funds for 1 in 3 Canadians affected by diabetes or prediabetes.
Ways to participate
Lace Up to End Diabetes anyway you like! You choose the movement and you set the pace. Fundraise on your own or start a team of fundraisers who are committed to Lacing Up in support of the work led by Diabetes Canada.
Individual
Fundraise on your own! Create a personal fundraising page to set a goal and share it with your supporters. Connect with other Lacers by using #LaceUpYourWay on social media and by downloading the Lace Up app.
Team
Recruit a team of friends and family and receive a team spirit pack when your team receives its first donation. Keep each other motivated by setting team goals for your fundraising and your movement! The team fundraising page will tally the donations members collect through their personal pages.
Corporate Team
Rally your coworkers for a team-building experience that you can do together (or while socially distanced) and receive a team spirit pack. Set personal distance goals, start some friendly competition with others, or bond over taking the 100k Challenge together!
