Hockey player Max Domi.

My first question after my diagnosis was, “Can I still play hockey?” I was scared it might be off the table for me.

With Breakthrough T1D funded research, I’m incredibly hopeful for the future. That’s why Breakthrough T1D’s mission to advance T1D research is so important to me. I want to do whatever I can to make life better for Canadians with this disease.
