Project LOD for T1D
Donation protected
The League of DiAthletes (LOD) are striving to create a world where diabetes education is accessible, relatable and empowering in every location from the patient perspective. We are connecting the world as 1 in living with type 1 and have assembled a global team of type 1 diabetes advocates and created an alliance of grassroots diabetes organizations.
Recently members of the LOD team took on the Central American Rainforest in #T1DGlobal19 trekking & surviving the challenge, we've also had a member of the team living with type 1 diabetes run 25 marathons in 1 month around the United Kingdom and now... we are sharing the #BlueDance for global type 1 awareness of injection / insertion / glucose testing sites by taking on the Macarena / Insulina dance and challenging the world to keep it moving online! What are we crowdfunding for? In acting on our mission for diabetes education, LOD aims to host a global training delegation of type 1 diabetes advocates diversely from around the world, who can gain key skills to produce effective educational outcomes and advocate for positive change in healthcare advances in this cause, community after community. Thank you for your support.
