SI SE PUEDE

January 5th 2025 I went into DKA and my life changed forever and after 6 days in the hospital, I go home with Type 1 diabetes forever. Although there is a massive change in my life now, I cannot believe how lucky I was, being in DKA was an absolute roller-coaster not only physically but emotionally. I am so grateful to God, all the nurses, doctors and especially my family and friends. One day at a time is all I can handle now but to have that opportunity is a miracle. Thank you to everyone donating I  hope to have the longest life I can, even if it means having bad days to remember and appreciate the good ones.

Over the last 50 years, Diabetes Canada has been proud to support diabetes research in Canada,  contributing to countless important discoveries that have improved the lives of people living with the condition—from new technologies like the artificial pancreas, to new type 2 diabetes management drugs, to stem cell treatments that show much promise towards a cure for type 1 diabetes. Since 1975, we have invested more than $160 million in research to help end diabetes. 

But insulin is not a cure and diabetes is not slowing down. Every three minutes another person living in Canada is diagnosed with diabetes.

That’s why we're taking the #LaceUpToEndDiabetes challenge! Every dollar I raise helps the millions of people living in Canada with diabetes. and supports the work led by Diabetes Canada in education, support services, advocacy, and diabetes research. 

Please show support by helping us reach our team goal or by joining our team to fundraise and move alongside us.

Thank you for cheering us on!
