LACE UP AND SHOW YOUR GLOW

I've seen how diabetes brings silent burdens—shame, guilt, isolation. At 90, living with Type 2 for 20 years, walking together gives me joy and purpose.” - Dr. Michael Sarin, District A7-11 Diabetes Chair & Founder, Diabetes, Exercise & Healthy Lifestyle Program.

Join the movement. Now, I'm calling on all Lions Clubs in District A-711: “Join me. Let's walk together to end the stigma, build connection, and raise awareness. Let’s walk for hope, health, and a future without diabetes.”

Why should you choose to Lace Up?

Someone in Canada is diagnosed with diabetes every 3 minutes.
With your support Diabetes Canada is working towards our vision of a world free of the effects of diabetes to:
