2018 Revolution Ride to Defeat Diabetes  - London

Thursday, Sept 27, 2018

REV3K Spin Studio
Unit 200 - 435 Windermere Rd.,  London, ON
 

It is not too early to start thinking about entering your team of 5 riders – we are always looking for new corporate teams to participate in this fun, high energy event.

For all our past team captains, why not challenge another department/division/floor within your company to enter a team into the event, or maybe invite a company you do business with (or maybe a rival company) to participate, and either match, or beat the total your team raises.

Call 905.664.1432 or email london@jdrf.ca for further details.

Community Engagement

JDRF is pleased to provide our complimentary Bag of Hope to our newly diagnosed families, containing a variety of educational and reference materials that will help you along the way.

As a special gift, children under the age of 12 will also receive a Rufus or Ruby, The Bear with Diabetes™, designed to help children cope and learn about insulin injections.

Mentor Program

When a loved one is diagnosed with diabetes, it can be a traumatic and stressful time. Fear, sadness, anger and confusion about how to manage the disease can leave families feeling alone and overwhelmed.

You are not alone. JDRF’s Family Network of Volunteers can help!

Through the Family Network, families touched by diabetes can be connected with a trained mentor, receive much needed emotional support and information about diabetes resources, as well as education about what they can do to help find a cure.

JDRF’s Family Network is made up of regular families dealing with similar struggles. It is an invaluable support network to those living with T1D.
