Cold Florida weather not a problem for Team Diabetes

Monday, February 01, 2010

Once again, staff members of The North West Company joined this year’s team and helped the group raise a total of $250,000 for our cause. Since 2002, the Winnipeg-based company has sent participants to seven events and has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Association. The North West Company is Canada’s largest employer of Aboriginal Peoples and the leading provider of food and everyday products and services to remote communities across Northern Canada. We look forward to their continued inspiration and participation.

Congratulations and thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s event. You have proven that nothing can stop us from leading the fight against diabetes.
