Supporting Each Other Overview

Thanks to your generosity, JDRF can help Canadians with type 1 diabetes (T1D) connect to each other. In 2020, despite the pandemic – we were able to maintain this sense of community through virtual events like Let’s Talk T1D and more. Close to 800 people living with T1D and their families participated in these events with plans to expand in 2021.

When connection was needed more than ever, you helped us show people that they are not alone.
