 The Kid Initiative to Defeat Diabetes® (KIDD™) Curriculum
This generation of children is on the fast track to live a shorter, less healthy life span than their parents. The Kid Initiative to Defeat Diabetes® Curriculum is designed to fill the gap in information about diabetes and obesity and its relationship to nutrition and fitness.
Humans Were Never Meant to Hibernate!
Why hibernate until spring? Take advantage of the cold and snow, embrace your adventurous spirit, and learn an outdoor cold weather sport. Winter sports are a great way to keep active during those cold winter months.
Many winter sports are social or family-oriented and building strong bodies and minds are just two of the benefits of participation. Learn about winter sports!
Self Empowerment and Peer SupportAt Defeat Diabetes Foundation we believe in a self-empowerment and peer support approach to dealing with the issue of diabetes. Self-empowerment means increasing your strength and self confidence. This is accomplished by gaining the skills and knowledge that allow you to overcome obstacles in life. "If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right."- Mary Kay Ash
