Don’t miss out on what’s happening in the T1D community.
My first question after my diagnosis was, “Can I still play hockey?” I was scared it might be off the table for me.
With JDRF-funded research, I’m incredibly hopeful for the future. That’s why JDRF’s mission to advance T1D research is so important to me. I want to do whatever I can to make life better for Canadians with this disease.

What if my child with T1D didn’t have to worry about health complications? It would be a life full of happiness and peace, without any fear.
Today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be better than today.
