Aden was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2018, which changed his life forever. Being active and playing sports, especially hockey, has always been a big part of Aden’s life. He was quickly forced to find a new normal and his pump and continuous glucose monitor allowed Aden to safely participate in all the activities an 11-year-old boy loves to do.
Aden is modelling in the Pump Couture Fashion Show because he wants to raise awareness about diabetes and show other kids that your diabetes doesn’t have to hold you back. He knows that wearable technologies help him manage his diabetes and also ensure that his parents know that his blood glucose levels are in range, even when he’s out on the ice.
Shortly after being diagnosed, Aden’s family member suggested he attended D-Camps, and it helped normalize diabetes. He got to do all the fun things you get to do at summer camp, in a safe and educational setting. Aden has applied for the D-Camps Leadership Development program so that he can help teach other kids the independence that he gained at camp.
“D-Camps has been amazing! It taught me to be more confident managing my diabetes. I gained a sense of belonging living with diabetes and have met so many great people that I can relate to.”
Aden is raising money for D-Camps to ensure that all kids like him can have this amazing experience.
Please show your support by helping Aden reach his fundraising goal and support sending more kids to D-Camps!
Thank you for your support.
