About This Cause
I Challenge Diabetes is a Canadian registered charity dedicated to reducing the mental, emotional and physical burdens that result from type 1 diabetes. To date, we have run programs in more than 125 cities across Canada, providing over 70,000 education and training opportunities. Our programming focuses on two approaches that work in tandem to empower people to successfully manage their diabetes. The first approach focuses on educating and empowering individuals through dynamic programs such as leadership retreats, sports camps and capacity-building workshops. These programs create teachable moments that build the confidence, healthy habits and diabetes management skills of participants. The second approach focuses on fostering a positive support system by training and educating parents, students and teachers through speaking events, family workshops and in-school programs. Our programs offer effective and exciting ways to build connections, teach new skills and empower people with type 1 diabetes to better manage their health.
