I am hosting the Lace-Up walk to support my daughter who is Type 1. A diabetes diagnosis is life changing, and affects everyone in the family. Our goal is to support fundraising for diabetes research, diabetes education and support for those living with diabetes and their families. We had a good turnout for our first Lace-Up walk last year, and are hoping for even better community support this year.
Sun Life Assurance Company is the Title Sponsor of the Lace Up to End Diabetes. Through our long-standing partnership, we’re committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of the more than four million people in Canada living with diabetes.
