What is the Sun Life Walk to Cure Diabetes for JDRF?

The Sun Life Walk to Cure Diabetes for JDRF is the largest collective rally bringing together those affected by type 1 diabetes to unite, get loud and raise funds to accelerate the pace of type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.
 
It’s a fun, family friendly event where dedicated walkers, volunteers and sponsors raise money to make living with T1D safer and healthier, until we create a world without T1D. We welcome everyone to take part—whether you choose to walk on your own or with a family, company or school team. As the largest T1D event in Canada, this is more than just a Walk, it's an amazing experience filled with activities, entertainment and the celebration of coming together to change the future of type 1 diabetes forever. Because Walk participants are not defined by their disease, they are #MoreThanT1D.
 
As the leading global organization funding T1D research, JDRF's mission is to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat T1D and its complications.
 
By raising money and awareness, you'll help make a world without T1D a reality.
 

Why join the Walk? 

Contribute to a cure If you want to help put an end to T1D, this is your opportunity. By joining the Sun Life Walk to Cure Diabetes for JDRF you'll support breakthroughs that get us closer to a cure and provide hope to the millions affected by this disease. Your fundraising dollars help support remarkable research projects including a 3D-printed bio-artificial pancreas, stem cell technology and transplant advances.

Help change lives More than 300,000 children, teens and adults live with type 1 diabetes in Canada, and approximately 50 people are still diagnosed every day. With no known cause and no cure, there is no way to prevent this disease, and many are at risk of complications. Let's bring that number to zero.

Join our community Join a community that is dedicated to uniting to support the millions of people living with T1D. Whether you have a direct connection to the disease or not, everyone is invited to make a difference. Together, we are #MoreThanT1D.
