The Scotia Challenge is more than a race, it's also a T1D awareness campaign
Living with type 1 diabetes can be a stressful experience for both children and their families. The constant need for insulin shots, blood sugar monitoring, and careful meal planning can be emotionally and physically challenging. The impact on children’s mental health and self-esteem can also be significant, with many feeling isolated and different from their peers.
But there is hope!
FRED is committed to providing essential resources and support to help children living with type 1 diabetes and their families thrive. By participating in the 21K Challenge and raising funds for FRED, you can help us make a real difference in the lives of these children and their families.
Your commitment can bring hope and joy to children who often feel alone and overwhelmed. Your support can help fund vital resources and programs that make a meaningful difference in the lives of these children, such as sending T1D children to Camp Carowanis for free.
At Camp Carowanis, the only camp for children with diabetes in Quebec, these children can be among peers who understand their struggles and enjoy activities that help build self-esteem. self, confidence and independence, all supervised by instructors who also live with type 1 diabetes.
