You can be an ICD Hero!
ICD’s empowering programs are supported by people just like you – inspired individuals who are passionate about providing opportunities for more type 1 diabetics to connect with peers and mentors across Canada, knowing first hand the lasting impact of our programs. Whether through hosting events, sharing your story, or creating online campaigns, every effort helps change lives for the better.
As an I Challenge Diabetes Hero, fundraising is an opportunity to build deeper connections within the type 1 diabetes community. By raising funds, you’re not just supporting a cause. You’re uniting with others who understand the daily realities of living with diabetes.
Every dollar raised helps strengthen the network of people who share stories, offer support, and inspire each other through challenges and triumphs. It’s about creating a sense of belonging, where individuals and families can find solidarity and hope, knowing they’re part of a larger, compassionate community working together to improve lives and foster understanding.
“I am so excited to be raising awareness about T1D and money for I Challenge Diabetes this November, National Diabetes Awareness Month!”
Leah started Carb Counting Mama as a place where families can find resources and information about T1D. But more importantly, it’s a way to connect with others in the T1D community. “In 2012, my son was diagnosed with T1D. At the time, you couldn’t have convinced me to reach out to the T1D community. When I finally did, it turned out to be the best thing I could have done for myself and my son. Meeting other people in the T1D community is life-changing in so many ways.”
Join Leah in creating more connections for our community!
