Diabetes has affected my family and friends, and I am hoping that, with your help, we can improve the lives of those living with diabetes, and eventually find a cure.

My mother had Type 2 for many years, and it impacted her quality of life right to the end. I have siblings who are pre-diabetic. And I had hypoglycaemia as a child, which puts me at greater risk of developing diabetes as an adult. I’m lacing up to keep active and reduce my risk.

Given that 1 in 3 Canadians are impacted by diabetes or pre-diabetes, it is a disease that likely affects someone in your family or a close friend. By supporting me through this campaign, we can help them all.
