“Lace Up” in May with Team Diabetes!

Many of us make a resolution to be more active but sticking to it can be difficult if you don’t have a specific goal to work towards. Signing up for an event in May with Team Diabetes is a great way to stick to your resolution to get fit while supporting the important work of the Canadian Diabetes Association. Ask a few friends, colleagues or family members to walk or run with you. Having others to train with that share a common goal is fun and keeps you motivated!

“When someone decides to join Team Diabetes, they have expectations and a vision of what to expect. I can tell you it’s even better than you think! Getting the funds raised is incredible, getting through the training is very satisfying, and getting to do this with someone who inspires you, is amazing. Finding a cure rather than the alternative will be exhilarating. I can’t wait!” Kevin Van Berkel, Team Diabetes Alumnus

“Whether you are living with diabetes or diabetes affects you in some way through a loved one or a friend, this is really a way to give back. To be a part of something that makes a difference. The money goes to a worthwhile cause. You get to join a team and a group of people that really care. It’s fantastic!” Dan Poole, Team Diabetes Team Member
