My first donation was to the Canadian Diabetes Assocation. This entity helps improve the health of those affected by diabetes through education, advocacy, services, and research.
It astonished me to find out there are more than 9 million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes (over 25% of our 34 million population). Knowing some of these individuals, and how much work goes into managing this disease, I'm thankful for the CDA, and work they do to help affected individuals. Hopefully prevention efforts are successful, and fatality rates continue to decline.
For those of you wanting more information about diabetes, the CDA website is an excellent and comprehensive starting point.
