Connect. Challenge. Explore.
Creating opportunities for people with type 1 diabetes of all ages to overcome challenges and find support.
Letters From Camp
Every letter tells a story. Every donation makes one possible.
This giving season, we’re opening the mailbox to share something truly special: real letters from youth, families, and staff whose lives have been transformed through ICD camps, retreats, and adventures. These aren’t just letters – they’re lives changed, friendships formed, confidence gained, and challenges conquered. Follow along as we share powerful stories from our community and show how your support makes these moments possible.
Let’s finish the year by lifting more voices, creating more connections, and empowering more youth living with diabetes.
Join us and help write the next chapter.
Our Mission and Vision
I Challenge Diabetes aims to connect, empower and support people living with diabetes through mentorship and challenging programs.
Our vision is for T1Ds to have the skills, support, and courage to face challenge and discover new levels of what is possible for them. Together, we apply strategies to overcome obstacles and grow to take ownership for our health.
We focus on how to manage diabetes effectively in the midst of real life challenges and use active programs to bring strategies to life.
Our Reach
The below numbers are taken from events facilitated by members of ICD’s team since 2011. Because of the depth of resources put into making deeper impacts in many organizations like ours, a standard calculation called “participant days” is used to fully account for multi-day programs.
