Participating in the STOP DIABETES November Challenge gives you and your school/school group a chance to support cutting-edge diabetes research. The Alberta Diabetes Foundation (ADF) believes a world without diabetes is possible. The only way to get there is by supporting innovative research. ADF supports Alberta-based research projects that are focused on finding a CURE.
