SMC-DC Collaboration

 

The Sikh Motorcycle Club of Canada is proud to support Diabetes Canada and its mission in a world free of the effects of diabetes. Diabetes Canada is working hard to improve the quality of life of people living with diabetes by sharing knowledge and creating connections for individuals and the healthcare professionals who care for them; advocating through public policy; and funding research to improve treatments and find a cure to end diabetes.

There have been many advancements since the Canadian discovery of insulin over 100 years ago. But there is still no cure and diabetes isn’t slowing down. Diabetes continues to affect more Canadians than ever before with 1 in 3 living with or at risk of diabetes or prediabetes and 1 in 2 young adults will develop type 2 diabetes in their lifetime.

Even with the help of insulin over the past 100 years, diabetes is successful at slowly shutting down your body one part at a time.
Whether it be causing blindness, a heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure, diabetes continues to take a toll.
We can’t wait another 100 years to End Diabetes.

On July 30th, 2023, the Sikh Motorcycle Club of Canada invites you to join us at the starting line as we host Ride For Cause… Let’s End Diabetes, a national motorcycle ride with the support of other motorcycle clubs across Canada to inspire Canadians to raise awareness and funds to help support the work led by Diabetes Canada to help End Diabetes.

Since 2019, the Sikh Motorcycle Clubs across Canada have helped raise over $150,000 and continue to support kids living with type 1 diabetes, fund vital programs and services for those affected by diabetes in our communities, and fund vital research.

The financial goal for Ride For Cause…Let’s End Diabetes is $100,000 or more to work towards crossing the finish line to End Diabetes!
