Empowerment is funded by people like you!
Our Empowerment Fund is a subsidy program designed to remove financial barriers. For those facing barriers, codes are provided on our registration pages, allowing users to choose the level of empowerment needed. Our participants pay what works for them.
Empowering People
Empowerment is what drives us. Our vision at I Challenge Diabetes is that people living with diabetes have the skills, support and courage to face challenge and embrace it while feeling stronger, confident, and more in control of their lives – no matter the disease.
Our community-minded approach recognizes that those with the most need at times may struggle to pay for expenses. We pride ourselves in being efficient with our funding, reducing or eliminating financial barriers while maximizing the level of support we can provide.
Accessing subsized rates for an individual or parent and child is as easy as entering a code provided on all our registration pages.
Transforming Lives
We are grateful for the opportunity to meet our peers where they are. Several key members of our mentoring team have come from a place of financial hardship and have since given back hundreds of hours in volunteer work and made donations in the years that followed.
Bursaries have led participants out of at-risk scenarios where A1c rates have been recorded as high as >18% and into ideal ranges (healthy targets for a non-diabetic are between 4.5 and 6% and those with diabetes generally aim below 7.5% with complications growing exponentially above 8%) and more Time-in-Range.
