Zinc change fundraiser

My daughter Francesca is doing a 50km walk to raise money for Type 1 Diabetes. To assist her in reaching her goal I will be doing a zinc change for anyone who needs it for a minimum donation of $100 on June 20th. If you would like to have yours done please email me at ajbritton@shaw.ca


From Francesca


I'm reaching out because I'm taking on a big challenge this year: I'm hiking 50 kilometers Sunshine Hut to Hut. It's to help other Type One Adults in support of Connected in Motion. an organization that has profoundly impacted my life as someone living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). I've had TID now for 32 years and was diagnosed at the age of 12.

As you might know, living with T1D means a constant balancing act – monitoring blood sugar, administering insulin, and navigating the unpredictable nature of an autoimmune disease. It's a 24/7 job. Connected in Motion understands this reality. They create incredible outdoor adventure programs and community events specifically for adults with T1D, fostering a sense of belonging, education, and empowerment that is truly invaluable.

Their programs have helped me gain confidence in managing my T1D during physical activity, learn new strategies for blood sugar management. This 50km hike isn't just about physical endurance for me; it's a testament to the strength and resilience I've built, thanks in large part to the support and new friends! I'm doing this hike with 9 other TID.

I'm fundraising to help them continue their vital work. Every dollar raised goes directly towards supporting these programs, ensuring more people with T1D can experience the life-changing impact of community and adventure.

Would you consider making a donation to support my hike and, in turn, help Connected in Motion? Any amount, big or small, makes a real difference.

Thank you for considering! Your support means the world to me and to the entire T1D community that Connected in Motion serves.

Warmly,

Francesca ♥️♥️
