Get involved

Every child deserves the chance to thrive, and for 25 years we’ve been threading hope, delivering supplies, and building connection.

Now you can be part of that thread.

Whether you donate, fundraise, partner, or spread the word, your support will bring life-saving care to children who need it most.

Together, we can help young people like Betty in Ethiopia manage diabetes and go on to fulfil their ambitions – and their potential.

Start a Fundraiser

Your creativity can change lives. Whether it’s a run, a birthday, a school event, or something entirely your own, every fundraiser helps raise awareness and strengthen the thread that connects this global community.

Donate in honor or memory

You can make a donation in honor or memory of someone special. Simply make the donation and check the appropriate box at the bottom of the ‘your details’ section of the donation form. 

Be the voice

Every post, share, or comment helps raise awareness and bring more people into our community. By sharing our stories, you help amplify the voices of young people living with diabetes and inspire action around the world.

Leave a Legacy

A gift in your Will helps children with type 1 diabetes receive the insulin, supplies, and support they need. There are many ways to leave a gift — from a percentage of your estate to a specific amount or asset. However you choose to give, your legacy will help change lives long into the future.

Industry Partners

We collaborate with companies and organizations that share our belief: no child should die of diabetes. Together we can expand access to insulin, technology, and education in under-resourced settings.
