"I am taking on this challenge to help 11.5 million Canadians living with diabetes like myself who was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes in 2012! It changed my life to be more aware of managing my body by eating healthy and being physical active to manage diabetes. Diabetes can be managed with support & providing awareness." ~ Neli Avila
Your donations and contribution help make a difference by bringing awareness, and funds raised goes toward continued research, education, programs for kids with diabetes, and the fight against finding a cure for Diabetes.
Join me by Making A difference to End Diabetes!
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.
Your donation will make a meaningful difference in the lives of people affected by diabetes.
