Default Possible Cure For Type 1 Diabetes

I don’t usually like to fundraise, but this means a lot to me. I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, 19 years ago at the age of 7.

Dr. Shapiro and his team have been doing great work at the U of A and it’s sounding like they are very close to a cure. If you can spare a few bucks, let’s get this thing beat.

Cheers!

I have no issue donating to this but honestly 22million is pocket change to the Trudeau Liberals. Have they asked Justine? He hands this kind of cash out as a tip to the people handling the cash he hands out every morning from his cottage steps.

My wife was recently diagnosed with the disease at the age of 28.

Had no experience with diabetics in the past but over the last year of her dealing with this disease I have a much larger appreciation for people who battle this disease. Luckily my wife’s is manageable right now but man what An inconvenience it is for her.

With that being said we are both going to donate a sum to help find a permanent solution.
