WIN BIG & GIVE BIG! Help JDRF Turn Type 1 to Type NONE!

VANCOUVER, BC, September 29, 2021 — Support the type 1 diabetes community by taking part in JDRF’s 50/50 raffle! Participants could end up winning half the jackpot while also making a difference in the lives of the over 300,000 Canadians living with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Kenadie was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 7 and has been living with this incurable autoimmune disease for 8 years. Life with T1D isn’t easy but she manages to make it beautiful.

Since her diagnosis, Kenadie has been involved actively with JDRF in many ways. She participated as a Kids for a Cure 2020 ambassador to educate politicians on T1D, and hosted the Promise Ball Gala in 2019 and the Kids for a Cure Lobby Day in 2016. She has also been a national campaign ambassador for JDRF and The Charles H. Best Diabetes Centre.

In her free time, Kenadie enjoys playing volleyball, dancing, swimming, and playing with her golden-doodle dog, named Brady. She and her family work together to raise awareness about T1D through presentations and school tours, doing their best to help people understand the realities of living with the disease, and why research into a cure is so important.

The 50/50 raffle offers people the chance to win big while giving kids like Kenadie, and their families, hope for a world one day free from T1D. Each ticket purchase helps JDRF raise critical funds for research that will one day find a cure and turn type 1 into type none.

Here’s Your Chance to Win the BC Lupus Society 50/50 Jackpot!

VANCOUVER, BC, September 28, 2021 — Support the BC Lupus Society, while entering for a chance to win the BIG JACKPOT PRIZE! Tickets for the 2021 BCLS 50/50 Raffle are available now until October 7th, 2021. The winner will be announced on October 8th, 2021.

Every ticket purchased will go towards funding for research to further the advancements in treatments and hope for a cure, as well as, supporting children and families affected by lupus.

3 tickets for $5
7 tickets for $10
50 tickets for $20
150 tickets for $50

The BC Lupus Society is a non-profit organization that is devoted to supporting those affected by lupus, educating and bringing awareness about lupus to the public, and advocating for advancements in research. We believe in finding a cure for this tragic disease.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that affects people of all ages, but especially children and women of childbearing age. The scariest thing about lupus is that it takes on many different forms making it difficult to diagnose. It can affect any part of the body, most commonly the skin, joints, and vital organs. Babies and children who suffer from lupus tend to have a higher chance of damage to vital organs such as the brain and kidneys. Left undiagnosed, lupus can be fatal. 

 

Emma’s Lupus Story

When I was 15, my life turned completely upside down when Lupus put me in kidney failure for a few days. What I thought would be my longest stay in a hospital for one week turned into 4 months of living in the hospital. I had suffered a stroke and I was completely paralyzed on my left side. I wasn’t allowed to eat or drink. For two weeks all I lived off of was apple sauce and ice chips. I couldn’t even sit up or hold the weight of my own head. I started physio sessions right as I was put into a room that wasn’t in the ICU. It was the start of my road to being as normal as I could be if I worked hard enough. With strong determination and hard work, I was transferred to a rehab hospital after a couple months.

Since then, I’ve gotten back to a pretty normal version of life for my circumstances and are working through the many struggles that come my way. With months and months of hard work pushing my body to its limits I’m walking pretty normally with a slight limp. I also still wear a brace on my ankle to prevent it from rolling.

 

As a volunteer with BC Children’s rheumatology camp (pre-Covid), I was surprised to see how many children had lupus. I met kids as young as 9 years old living with lupus. I would be interested to look more into that research and to see if pushing children too hard at a young age or putting too much stress on their bodies is a trigger for developing these types of diseases.

After sharing my story with the BC Lupus Society, it made me realize how important it is to have a community of people who understood what I was going through. I love the society for fundraising because it’s an opportunity to get the word out about lupus and help educate others, while raising money for a good cause. I also put all my scholarship awards towards the BC Lupus Society because I felt that it was a great way to give back to the community and a research program that I truly believe in. I knew that it would benefit not only myself, but others living with lupus.

Ticket sales end at midnight on October 7! 
Winner announced on October 8!

WIN BIG & GIVE BIG! Help JDRF Turn Type 1 to Type NONE!

VANCOUVER, BC, September 24, 2021 — JDRF is hosting its inaugural virtual 50/50 raffle, and the winner could be you! Players will have the chance to take home half the jackpot while also making a difference in the lives of the over 300,000 Canadians living with type 1 diabetes.

2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin by researchers Dr. Frederick Banting and Charles Best at the University of Toronto.

Before insulin treatment, a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D) meant inevitable death for children. T1D is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that make insulin critical to maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. There are no therapies available yet to prevent it, and the causes are not yet fully understood. While there have been many advancements in technology and delivery of insulin over the past 100 years; either by injection or pump, it remains the only treatment for T1D.

As JDRF commemorates the 100th anniversary of the discovery of insulin, they also recognize the need to move beyond insulin and aggressively invest in the research that will lead to a cure for T1D. Raffle ticket purchasers not only get the chance to win the cash prize, but more importantly, raise important funds for research that will one day turn type one into type none.
