For the month of May we are proud to be donating $2,000 to Vernon's local Type 1 diabetes organization, T1D Hub.
Diabetes affects millions of people around the world. If you didn't know, diabetes is a condition in which the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that helps regulate the amount of glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream.
Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is essential for the body to function properly. When blood sugar remains too high, it can lead to serious complications affecting organs, blood vessels, and nerves. Insulin also plays a critical role in helping the body convert sugar into energy.
Did you know that every three minutes, someone in Canada is diagnosed with diabetes? Chances are that diabetes has affected you, a family member, a friend, or someone in your community.
That's why we wanted to support our local Type 1 diabetes community through T1D Hub. Their events, fundraisers, educational programs, and community support initiatives make a meaningful difference for individuals and families living with Type 1 diabetes.
We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute and help support the important work they do right here in our community.
