Walking to Cure diabetes

The Okanagan fights type 1 diabetes and this year the Sun Life Walk to Cure Diabetes benefiting JDRF raised almost $90,000.

The money will be used to fund life-changing T1D research through Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and JDRF’s Canadian Clinical Trial Network.

“We are consistently, steadily making progress in pursuit of a cure for type one diabetes. We are fundraising so that we can continue to push these advances forward,” says Shannon Jolley, Manager of Fundraising and Development, JDRF Okanagan and Kootenays. “Thanks to events such as the Sun Life Walk, JDRF is currently funding more than 50 human clinical trials, several of which are in the advanced stages of clinical testing.”
