In June 2024 & 2025, the Breakthrough Centre of Excellence members attended the JDRF Walk Fundraiser Event in Stanley Park. Our talented trainees engaged with the public by sharing knowledge and and lived experiences of T1D. The Day was organized by our Trainee Committee Member Samantha Mar from the Lynn Lab.
In June 2023, members of the Breakthrough T1D Centre of Excellence at UBC supported the JDRF Walk Fundraiser event in Stanley Park. Back then, our Centre was known as the JDRF Centre of Excellence. This was the second time around our Centre was involved in this fantastic event raising awareness of type 1 diabetes research.
It was a great day for our scientific research team to meet, reconnect and engage with each other and the type 1 diabetes community.

In June 2022, Walk Month, the JDRF Centre of Excellence stepped up for the 300,000 Canadians living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to raise funds for T1D research. By supporting our fundraising, you will help fund ground-breaking diabetes research and provide the necessary support to those living with T1D and ensure they live healthier, safer and easier lives.
Every step is a step closer to a cure. Please help make a difference for the T1D community.
