DONATE NOW

On May 25, 2008, Sebastien Sasseville became the first Canadian living with Type 1 diabetes to summit Mount Everest. In an effort to prove that diabetes is not a limitation, the young climber hopes that the historical event will inspire every Canadian living with the disease. He has set a fundraising goal of $100,000 for diabetes research.

You can donate to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in support of Sebastien's quest, or read more about it here.
