On June 8th, 2025, IMGadgets proudly took part in the Breakthrough T1D Walk in Toronto, a heartwarming event that brought together a passionate community determined to make strides in the fight against Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
T1D is a chronic autoimmune condition where the pancreas produces little to no insulin — a hormone vital for regulating blood sugar levels. Unlike Type 2 diabetes, T1D is not caused by lifestyle factors and currently has no cure. The condition impacts both children and adults, requiring daily management and constant vigilance.
Organized by Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF Canada), the walk is part of a national series of fundraising events held across the country. These walks help accelerate research and innovation, drive advocacy efforts, and provide support to individuals and families affected by T1D.
As a proud sponsor of the Toronto walk, IMGadgets was thrilled to contribute to such a meaningful cause. Our booth served as a space not only to showcase our products but also to engage with attendees, share stories, and amplify awareness about the realities of living with T1D. We were deeply moved by the heartfelt conversations we had and inspired by the strength of this vibrant community.
From families walking in honor of loved ones to individuals bravely sharing their personal journeys with T1D, the day was a powerful reminder of the importance of community, research, and resilience.
Over the past month, we’ve reflected on the experience and the incredible energy of that day. At IMGadgets, we’re committed to building more than just innovative products — we’re here to support impactful initiatives that create real change in people’s lives.
Thank you to Breakthrough T1D for organizing such a purposeful event, and to everyone who donated, participated, or simply stopped by to say hello. It was an honor to walk beside you.
Together, we took steps toward a world without T1D — and we’re just getting started.
