Did you know it's been 100 years since the discovery of insulin -- the most notable Canadian medical breakthrough in the past century?

The discovery of insulin 100 years ago brought a miraculous change in life expectancy and quality of life for millions of people around the world. However, it's not enough because it's not a cure. We can't wait another 100 years to end diabetes. 

That's why we, The East Coast Bengali Society (ECBS), Halifax are raising funds for life-changing diabetes research, education, support services and advocacy. The funds and awareness raised supports the millions of Canadians living with diabetes and prediabetes and Diabetes Canada in their mission to prevent diabetes, help those affected by the disease live healthy lives, and ultimately find a cure.
