Impacting Type 1 Diabetes, Today!
Our purpose is to empower families with the support and education they need to ensure a healthy today and tomorrow for their child
The Michelle McGann Fund’s mission and purpose is to empower families with the support and education they need to ensure a health today and tomorrow for their child. Some of the many complications from type 1 diabetes – such as vision problems, blindness, kidney disease, hypertension, amputations and others – can be avoided or minimized when children get the best treatment possible. Further, quality of life improves when type 1 diabetics follow proper preventive and treatment protocols.
The Fund at Work
The Michelle McGann Fund receives donations and awards grants for furthering juvenile diabetes management in three areas: awareness, education and support. The mission of the Fund is to promote a healthy lifestyle now and in the future for individuals and families dealing with a new type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
