Thanks for your interest and support! I’m gearing up for a physical challenge and want to do something good for others while I train and participate. I’ve decided to use my upcoming endurance event as an opportunity to help people affected by diabetes. And I’m asking you, my wonderful friends and family, to join me.
Help make my journey a life-changing one, by making a donation in support of Diabetes Canada. Every dollar we raise will help Canadians with diabetes live healthier lives and support researchers who are working to find a cure.
Today, there are 11 million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes. One Canadian is diagnosed with this chronic, progressive disease every three minutes. The impact diabetes has on people’s lives, and our healthcare system, is staggering. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults, and contributes to:
- 30% of strokes
- 40% of heart attacks
- 50% of kidney failures
- 70% of non-traumatic lower limb amputations
Diabetes Canada is leading the fight against this epidemic, by investing in world-class diabetes research, advocating for better access to care on behalf of all Canadians affected by diabetes, and funding prevention programs to help people reduce their risk.
Please help by making a donation today.
In addition to motivating me on my journey, your donation will make a meaningful difference in the lives of people affected by diabetes.
